Prohibits use by certain retailers of shipping box greater than two times volume of product being shipped.
This bill prohibits large online retailers (with $1 million+ annual sales) and major retailers (over 75,000 sq ft with 50+ employees) in New Jersey from using shipping boxes larger than twice the volume of the product being shipped. It requires retailers to use appropriately sized boxes for consumer deliveries, aiming to reduce packaging waste. Violations carry civil penalties of $250-$500 per offense, with daily violations treated as separate offenses. Enforcement is authorized for state environmental and consumer protection agencies.
