Establishes extended producer responsibility for designated products

This bill requires producers of designated products (like electronics, packaging, or textiles) to fund and manage recycling and reuse programs for those items after consumers discard them. It shifts financial responsibility from taxpayers and municipalities to producers, who must create department-approved collection plans covering product take-back, recycling, and reuse. Producers must design more durable, recyclable products and meet specific recycling rate targets set by the environmental department. The law establishes a new program fund to support these efforts and applies to manufacturers, importers, and brands selling products in New York.
