S.2359

New Jersey S2359 establishes a Mattress Stewardship Act to manage discarded mattresses.

New Jersey S2359, the Mattress Stewardship Act, mandates mattress producers to join a stewardship organization and implement a mattress stewardship program. This program aims to manage discarded mattresses environmentally soundly. The bill requires producers, renovators, and retailers to register with a stewardship organization and comply with the program's provisions. Retailers must purchase mattresses only from registered producers or renovators, collect a stewardship assessment, and inform consumers about collection opportunities.
