FPA Signs Coalition Letter Opposing New York’s S 4246D/NY A 5322D - Packaging Reduction and Recycling Act

We are writing to strongly oppose the newly amended Extended Producer Responsibility bill, S 4246D/A 5322D. These amendments won’t result in a thoughtfully crafted EPR bill. The bill will still result in problematic consequences for consumers like everyday concerns about increased grocery prices and being able to get in-demand products that are no longer available on store shelves. The mandates will still result in manufacturers being forced to find materials that comply with requirements and will eliminate products where certain packaging is not available. As a result, consumers will face higher costs and will have limited choices as manufacturers discontinue products.
