Requires producers of packaging products sold in New Jersey to adopt and implement packaging product stewardship plans.
This bill requires packaging product producers in New Jersey (including manufacturers, brand owners, sellers, and importers) to develop and implement stewardship plans for managing packaging waste. The plans must include specific targets like 75% post-consumer content in single-use packaging by 2027, making all single-use packaging recyclable or compostable by 2030, and reducing single-use plastic packaging by 25% by 2030. Producers must cover all costs for collection, transportation, reuse, and recycling of packaging waste through their stewardship plans, which must be approved by the Department of Environmental Protection. The bill prohibits producers from selling packaging products without an approved plan, with penalties including fines and sales restrictions for non-compliance.
