The bill retains many of its provisions from last year, including a nationwide extended producer responsibility (EPR) program for packaging, minimum recycled content mandates for certain products, a national container deposit system and single-use plastic product bans. It also calls for a three-year pause on issuing permits for new plastics production facilities and chemical recycling plants, a controversial measure that has drawn criticism from the plastics industry.
