FPA Submits Testimony in Opposition to Senate Bill 5219 to Washington’s Senate Environment, Energy and Technology Committee

The Flexible Packaging Association (FPA) is submitting testimony in opposition to SB5219, “Relating to the management of plastic packaging materials,” which sets arbitrary rates and dates for all plastic packaging in Washington to have post-consumer recycled content (PRC) incorporated and assess fees for non-compliance that would go to the State for the purposes of litter control, improvement of capabilities to manage plastic packaging waste, and investments to improve recycling infrastructure for plastic packaging, none of which are outlined with any detail.
