Prohibits sale, distribution, and import of certain products marketed as recyclable, unless DEP determines that products are widely recycled.

New Jersey bill A3552 prohibits selling, distributing, or importing products with deceptive "recyclable" claims (like the chasing arrows symbol) unless the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) confirms they are actually recyclable in the state. It requires the DEP to conduct a material characterization study by 2024 to define which products/packaging are recyclable based on two criteria: 60% of NJ households collect them curbside, and 60% of recycling facilities process them into new materials. The law directly affects manufacturers and retailers selling products with recycling claims in New Jersey. It is pending before the Assembly Environment Committee and not yet law.
