- States sue California over plastic recycling mandate
Over a dozen states and a wholesaler association sued California's recycling agency administrator to block a law requiring 100% recyclable single-use plastic packaging by 2032, arguing it violates constitutional provisions on interstate commerce and imposes excessive costs. The lawsuit challenges the Plastic Pollution Prevention and Packaging Producer Responsibility Act as overly broad and infringing on state sovereignty.
