Bill overview
This bill aims to prevent the sale, distribution, and import of products marketed as recyclable unless the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) determines they are widely recycled in New Jersey. It prohibits the use of misleading recycling symbols like the chasing arrows, and requires the DEP to conduct a study to identify truly recyclable materials. The bill includes exemptions for products manufactured before certain dates and those complying with existing federal or state regulations, and establishes requirements for the DEP to regularly update its findings and ensure transparency.
