FPA Signs Coalition Letter to the California State Assembly Opposing AB 478 Unless Amended

The undersigned organizations are writing as a follow-up to our previous comments regarding AB 478, legislation pertaining to the use of post-consumer recycled (PCR) material in plastic thermoform containers. As we have stated, we recognize that steps need to be taken to not only increase the collection and processing of these containers but to also ensure that sustainable end-use markets exist. To that end, many of our respective industries and individual member companies have made public commitments to increase the use of recycled material in the production of new packaging materials.
