On February 9, three hundred activists came to Albany for an advocacy day with Beyond Plastics to call for passage of the Packaging Reduction and Recycling Infrastructure Act. The bill would require large companies to reduce their packaging by 30% over 12 years, would ban a dozen toxic chemicals from packaging, and would not allow chemical recycling (aka incineration) to count as recycling. At a press conference, we hear from Judith Enck of Beyond Plastics and the bill’s lead sponsor, Assembly En Con Chair Deborah Glick and Senator Pete Harkham. By Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Magazine.
