New Jersey ACR131 urges the Department of Environmental Protection and the Economic Development Authority to establish a plastics recycling marketplace. The resolution highlights the dangers of single-use plastics, including microplastic pollution that can accumulate in the human food chain. It notes that New Jersey's current recycling rates for post-consumer plastics are low, at six to nine percent, with some estimates as high as 13 percent. The resolution aims to increase recycling rates and reduce environmental harm by encouraging research and funding for a plastics recycling marketplace.
