"These new rules create huge loopholes for plastic packaging that violate the law, and we expect to challenge this in court."
"The new final regulations allow for recycling methods that produce hazardous waste, and exempt certain products from review, violating the law's prohibition on significant hazardous waste production."
Environmental groups sue California's new single-use plastic law, claiming new regulations weaken the law and allow for chemical recycling, exempting certain products from review. The Natural Resources Defense Council and Californians Against Waste support the lawsuit, while the packaging industry is unhappy but has not officially announced a lawsuit.
