AB 2253: Solid waste: products: recycled content claims.
The bill would expand provisions related to environmental marketing claims to all products, not just plastic food container products. It would require manufacturers and suppliers to maintain specific information and documentation in their records to support environmental marketing claims. The information would include details on the diverted recycled content and the accuracy of the claim. The bill would also clarify the definition of "postconsumer" and require claims to be based on actual physical recycled content, without using certain accounting methods. This would help to ensure transparency and accuracy in environmental marketing claims.
