FPA Comments on Toxics in Packaging Clearinghouse Proposed Model Legislation

The undersigned organizations appreciate the opportunity to provide the following comments on the Toxics in Packaging Clearinghouse (TPCH) Model Legislation. Our respective organizations recognize and support TPCH’s past efforts of promoting safe, effective packaging that is free of heavy metals. Unfortunately, we are writing to you today to voice serious concerns over the Proposed Model Legislation as it strays very far from the path paved by TPCH in years past, disregards sound science, and could potentially have major unintended socioeconomic and environmental consequences.
