New Jersey A3552 aims to prevent the sale, distribution, and import of products marketed as recyclable unless the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) determines they are widely recycled. The bill mandates that products displaying the "chasing arrows" recycling symbol must be recyclable as defined by DEP. Exceptions include products collected through curbside recycling programs, those sorted into defined recycling streams, and those with a demonstrated recycling rate of at least 75 percent.
