California AB2253 regulates recycled content claims on product labels by requiring documentation and third-party audits.

California AB2253 amends the Public Resources Code to mandate that manufacturers and suppliers substantiate recycled content claims on product labels with documentation. This includes details on the recycled content recovery process, the chain of custody model used, and compliance with Federal Trade Commission standards. For plastic food container products, manufacturers must also provide this information directly to the public. The bill allows manufacturers to use independent third-party auditors to verify their claims, with the audit reports remaining confidential.
