Massachusetts H457 regulates misleading claims about the recyclability of consumer goods.

Massachusetts H457 aims to combat greenwashing in recycling by prohibiting deceptive or misleading claims about the recyclability of consumer goods. Companies must maintain documentation attesting to the recyclability of their products and disclose significant environmental impacts. The bill also allows for the display of recycling symbols on recyclable components of products, provided other non-recyclable components are clearly identified. Violations are subject to civil fines up to $1,000 per occurrence.
