Requires producers of plastic packaging and certain other plastic products to reduce quantity of plastic sold; restricts additional substances under "Toxic Packaging Reduction Act."
New Jersey's S 670, the "Toxic Packaging Reduction Act," requires plastic packaging producers to gradually reduce plastic use by 50% over 10 years (starting at 90% of baseline after 2 years). It mandates that cardboard packaging sold in the state must contain 75% recycled content after 2 years. The bill creates a Toxic Packaging Task Force to identify harmful chemicals in packaging and recommend restrictions. This directly affects plastic producers selling packaging or products in New Jersey, excluding medical devices, food packaging, and certain industrial materials.
