Bill overview
This bill proposes to exempt certain plastic materials processed at specialized ‘advanced plastic processing facilities’ from New Jersey’s existing laws governing solid waste disposal and recycling. Specifically, it modifies the definition of ‘solid waste’ to exclude source-separated plastic transported to these facilities for transformation into other products like monomers or chemicals. The bill maintains that these facilities would still need to comply with other environmental regulations. It also clarifies the definition of ‘advanced plastic processing facility’ and its distinction from other waste management terms.
