New Jersey S224 prohibits the sale, distribution, and import of products marketed as recyclable unless the Department of Environmental Protection.
New Jersey S224 mandates that products marketed as recyclable cannot be sold, distributed, or imported unless the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) determines they are widely recycled. The bill requires the DEP to conduct a material characterization study to identify recyclable products and forms of packaging. It prohibits the use of the "chasing arrows" recycling symbol on products unless they meet the DEP's recyclability criteria. Exceptions include products part of state or federal programs governing recyclability and those not increasing contamination or deceiving consumers.
