Summary

The bill expands rules that only covered plastic food containers so any product with a recycled‑content claim must maintain written documentation of the actual physical recycled material used. It defines “postconsumer” material and bans accounting methods that rely on credits rather than real content. The aim is to make recycled‑content marketing more transparent and trustworthy.
