This New Jersey bill targets pollution from plastic packaging material
The EPA says packaging materials from shopping make up nearly 28% of municipal waste sent to U.S landfills.
New Jersey is aiming to drastically reduce the amount of packaging material—particularly plastic—that is thrown away after the package is opened.
From bubble wrap to puffy air-filled plastic pockets to those foam peanuts that seem to immediately spill all over the floor, lots of what keeps items safe during shipping often ends up in landfills, or in the environment as pollution.
