An Act related to environmental marketing claims

This bill amends Massachusetts consumer protection laws to prohibit businesses from making false or misleading claims about the recyclability of their products or packaging. Companies that use terms like "recyclable," "eco-friendly," or the chasing arrows symbol must keep written proof that their items can actually be recycled in the state and disclose any significant negative environmental impacts. Retailers and wholesalers are not held responsible for these claims unless they themselves made the representation in advertising or on the packaging. The law also allows recyclability symbols on multi-material products as long as the packaging clearly identifies which parts are not recyclable.
