Packaging and Paper Product Stewardship Act: regulates packaging and paper products to improve recycling and reduce waste.
The Packaging and Paper Product Stewardship Act aims to manage packaging and paper products more sustainably. It requires producers to join producer responsibility organizations (PROs) or develop individual product stewardship plans. These plans must detail how producers will manage their products' end-of-life, including recycling and composting. The bill also establishes a fund to support recycling infrastructure and enforcement. It prohibits certain toxic substances in packaging and mandates a reduction in single-use plastic packaging.
