Summary

Packaging Stewardship Program and Fund; established. Establishes the Packaging Stewardship Program (the Program), administered by the Department of Environmental Quality. Under the Program, a producer that sells products with packaging materials in the Commonwealth pays a fee to the Department based upon the amount of packaging used and whether or not it is easily recyclable. A producer may establish an alternative collection program to offset some or all of the fees. The fees are paid into the Packaging Stewardship Fund, established in the bill, and are used to reimburse participating localities for expenses related to recycling, invest in recycling infrastructure and education, and pay administrative costs related to the Program. The bill authorizes the Department to contract with a third party to administer the Program.
