S.677

New Jersey S677 mandates that State-funded construction projects use plastic materials with specific recycled content.

New Jersey S677 requires State-funded construction projects to use plastic materials containing at least 10 percent postconsumer recycled content for two years after enactment, then 15 percent. Exemptions apply if the recycled content increases project costs by 25 percent or if suitable materials are unavailable. The bill defines "plastic construction material" as those made of over 50 percent plastic by cost.
