Provides for the recovery, reuse and recycling of hardcover books

This bill prohibits disposing of hardcover books (defined as books bound in cloth, cardboard, or leather) as regular trash or burning them. It requires all municipalities to establish programs within two years for collecting, reusing, or recycling hardcover books, including tracking collected volumes and recycling partners. Municipalities must report program details to the state environmental department, which will share best practices and post program information online. The law directly affects local governments and book recyclers, mandating specific recovery systems instead of landfill disposal.
