AI Summary
This bill amends Chapter 94G of the Massachusetts General Laws by requiring the Cannabis Control Commission (CCC) to establish a sustainability working group focused on reducing environmental impact in the cannabis industry. The working group will bring together cannabis industry representatives to explore and develop strategies for improving sustainability, including creating systems for recollecting and sanitizing packaging for reuse, developing a comprehensive manual of best practices for marijuana waste disposal, and establishing a program to recollect and reuse radio frequency identification (RFID) tags used in seed-to-sale tracking. The goal is to decrease the industry's reliance on natural materials and create more environmentally friendly practices throughout the cannabis supply chain, from cultivation and packaging to waste management and tracking.
