FPA Signs Coalition Letter for Impacted Stakeholders Concerns for New York State’s Executive Budget Waste Reduction and Recycling Infrastructure Act Article VII Proposal, S.4008/A.3008, Part PP

The undersigned organizations appreciate the opportunity to provide comment on Article VII proposal, S.4008/A.3008, Part PP, which seeks to establish a waste reduction and extended producer responsibility (EPR) mandate for packaging and printed material. While many of our organizations support a properly structured EPR mechanism to aid the recycling system, we have concerns with Article VII proposal, S.4008/A.3008, Part PP and believe the language must be significantly amended to provide a more practical program to improve the recycling system in New York.
