Summary
(Udall brought a credit card to his press conference on Tuesday as a prop to make his case.) All told, only about 9% of plastics get recycled. “We’ve seen other bills that are more coming from the plastics industry side that are focused on recycling, not on holding corporations accountable for their products, which this bill does,” Jennie Romer, a legal associate with Surfrider Foundation who advised on the bill, told VICE News. “The other bills are missing that point, and a lot of them have plastics industry involvement.” Even the recycling industry is wary of regulating plastic producers to curb pollution.
