Establishes extended producer responsibility for gas cylinders
What changed between versions
The bill version number was updated from 7552-A to 7552-B, indicating a procedural revision after committee review.
The definition of 'gas cylinder' was updated to remove specific exclusions for cylinders containing oxygen, refrigerants, acetylene, hydrogen, ethylene, or foam adhesives, broadening the scope of what is covered.
The definition of 'recycling' was changed to remove 'energy recovery' from the list of excluded activities and added 'chemical conversion process' to the exclusions.
The definition of 'recycling' was updated to explicitly include the disposal of discarded component materials in the exclusion for landfill disposal.
A new definition for 'recycling rate' was added to establish a metric for measuring the percentage of cylinders managed through recycling or reuse.
