AI Summary

This bill prohibits the sale, distribution, and import of certain products marketed as recyclable, unless the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) determines that the products are widely recycled in the state. The bill requires the DEP to conduct a material characterization study to identify the products and packaging that are considered recyclable in New Jersey, and to update the study every five years. The bill also provides exceptions to the prohibition, such as for products manufactured before January 1, 2024, and for certain federally or state-required uses of the recycling symbol.
