Bill overview
This bill aims to support the implementation of ‘advanced recycling,’ a process that converts post-use polymers into raw materials, chemicals, and other products. It focuses on establishing a system for ‘mass balance attribution’ – a method for tracking and certifying the use of recycled materials in new products. The bill defines key terms related to advanced recycling and solid waste management, including ‘advanced recycling facility,’ ‘recycled material,’ and ‘mass balance attribution,’ and clarifies the status of these facilities under existing regulations.
