Bill > H768

This bill aims to ensure plastic bottle recycling in Massachusetts. It defines "recycle" and sets requirements for the minimum percentage of postconsumer recycled plastic in plastic beverage containers sold in the state, starting at 15% and increasing to 50% over an 8-year period. The bill also requires beverage manufacturers, plastic material reclaimers, and postconsumer recycled plastic manufacturers to report relevant data annually to the Department of Environmental Protection. The law exempts certain rigid plastic containers and bottles used for medical devices, medicines, and related products.
