FPA Signs Coalition Memo to New York State Senate Members Regarding S.1185B Which Seeks to Establish an Extended Producer Responsibility Mandate for Packaging and Printed Material

The undersigned organizations appreciate the opportunity to provide comment on S.1185B, which seeks to establish an extended producer responsibility (EPR) mandate for packaging and printed material. While many of our organizations support a properly structured mechanism to aid the recycling system, we have concerns with S.1185B in its current form and believe the bill must be amended to provide a more practical program to improve the recycling system in New York.
