CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE—
2021–2022 REGULAR SESSION
Assembly Bill
No. 478
Introduced by Assembly Member Ting |
February 08, 2021 |
An act relating to solid waste.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 478, as introduced, Ting.
Solid waste: thermoform containers: minimum recycled content.
The California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989, administered by the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery, requires a rigid plastic packaging container, as defined, sold or offered for sale in this state, to meet, on average, at least 1 of 5 specified criteria, including that the container be made from 25% postconsumer material.
This bill would declare the intent of the Legislature to enact subsequent legislation relating to the minimum recycled content of thermoform containers.
