California AB473 aims to regulate environmental advertising by clarifying what constitutes recyclable products and packaging in the state.

California AB473 amends the Public Resources Code to establish criteria for determining whether a product or packaging is recyclable in the state. It mandates the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery to update regulations to include details on how materials are collected and sorted. The bill also prohibits deceptive claims about recyclability, such as using chasing arrows symbols on non-recyclable items. It sets specific criteria for products to be considered recyclable, including material type, form, and the absence of certain chemicals.
