Texas SB728 establishes a beverage container recycling refund program.

Texas SB728 creates a beverage container recycling refund program. Producers must form a consortium to implement a plan meeting a recycling rate target. The consortium will manage redemption centers, establish labeling and quality standards, and collect deposits. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality will oversee the program, and the comptroller can audit and require financial information. The program aims to promote recycling and manage a refund trust fund.
