AI Summary
This bill extends the effectiveness of the "Cleaner, Greener NY Act of 2013" and makes several changes to the state's returnable bottle law. It expands the definition of "beverage" to include additional types of non-carbonated drinks, allows the use of alternative technologies for redeeming bottles, and requires new minimum recycled content standards for glass, aluminum, and plastic beverage containers.
