The law, enacted in 2022, demands all packaging be recyclable or compostable, shifting waste responsibility to manufacturers. Critics say it oversteps state authority and harms businesses beyond California’s borders, while state officials defend it as a fair way to cut taxpayer waste costs and spur eco-friendly innovation. CalRecycle remains committed to enforcing the law despite the legal challenge. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
