FPA Sends Letter in Support of Minnesota’s SF 3561

The Flexible Packaging Association (FPA) is pleased to support SF 3561 The Packaging Waste and Cost Reduction Act, which will allow packaging producers to make critical investments in Minnesota’s recycling infrastructure. Initially, FPA opposed SF 3561 because the needs assessment was overridden by arbitrary goals set in legislation; lack of critical goods exemptions; and all program costs falling on producers. The current version, however, now creates a data-driven program that allows the needs assessment to inform goals set by the Commissioner of the Pollution Control Agency.
