Overview
The Packaging and Paper Product Stewardship Act aims to manage the disposal of packaging and paper products in New Jersey. It establishes a framework for producer responsibility, requiring producers to join a producer responsibility organization or develop their own stewardship plans. The act defines key terms like ‘covered product,’ ‘producer,’ and ‘recycling,’ and outlines requirements for collection, transportation, reuse, and recycling of these materials. It also mandates a statewide needs assessment to identify infrastructure and investment needs to support the act's goals.
