Bill Summary: Packaging Reduction and Recycling Infrastructure Act

• Establishes a packaging reduction and recycling program requiring producers to register with a designated not-for-profit organization and pay fees to fund collection, recycling, and infrastructure based on packaging type, quantity, and eco-modulation factors.

• Mandates producers reduce packaging by 10-50% by unit weight over 12 years and meet recycled content standards (35% for glass, 40% for paper bags, 20% for plastic bags) beginning two years after plan implementation.

• Requires packaging to meet recyclability criteria including prohibition of toxic substances (PFAS, phthalates, bisphenols, heavy metals, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, polycarbonate) and specific label/pigment restrictions.

• Sets recycling rate targets for producers: 35-75% of non-plastic packaging and 25-75% of plastic packaging by 2050, with minimum reuse requirements.

• Creates advisory council, recycling inspector general office, and toxic packaging task force to oversee implementation, review plans, investigate compliance, and recommend additional toxic substance prohibitions; establishes enforcement penalties up to $1,000 per day per violation.
