After a productive week in the Capital, legislators have passed three groundbreaking environmental bills! These new laws aim to reduce waste, cut greenhouse gas emissions, and provide consumers with new solutions for waste management. Notably, SB-707, sponsored by CPSC, is among the key bills discussed.

According to Dr. Brasch, “With other EPR programs we have had to beg companies to become take back sites. But with this product type, thrift shops, brands, kiosks in parking lots that receive donations, even some haulers want to be part of this. We had to put in a provision to prioritize certain markets”. To learn more please visit: https://bit.ly/3Xmw3wZ
