AB 473: Environmental advertising: recyclability.

This bill aims to improve environmental advertising by clarifying what is considered recyclable in California. The existing law prohibits making deceptive claims about a product's recyclability. The bill would delete an existing provision that allows products to be recyclable if they are part of a program established by state or federal law. Starting in 2027, the bill would require a product to be considered recyclable in California if the producer is approved by a producer responsibility organization to participate in it. By 2032, the bill would require a product to be recyclable if the producer complies with the requirements of the Plastic Pollution Prevention and Packaging Producer Responsibility Act.
