We kept asking how stupid it was when they ban plastic bags but not all the shit they sell in the stores, right? Well, ask and ye shall fuckin' get it up the ass, Skippy. Here they go going after the wrappers and the containers. A sweeping New York State recycling bill calls for scores of companies to stop using plastic wrap when packaging products, which critics gripe could leave crucial everyday items such as diapers and toilet paper soggy.
The proposed Packaging Reduction and Recycling Infrastructure Act would require companies with net income exceeding $5 million that sell or distribute certain materials and products to reduce and phase out 'toxic or non-reusable packaging', replacing it with 'reusable and environmentally friendly alternatives'.
Other states have similar green-packaging programs, including Maryland, Maine, Oregon, Colorado, California and Minnesota, and some countries employ them, too.
“New York State must follow suit to meet the moment for environmental accountability,” said the memo justifying the legislation sponsored by state Assemblywoman Deborah Glick (D-Manhattan) and state Sen. Peter Harckham (D-Peekskill). Of course it's dimwitted Dimorats. No sane/normal person could come up with stupid shit like this.
“This legislation shifts the onus of recycling and waste hauling for packaging from municipalities and residents and ensures that producers of products are serving our interests by establishing solutions to sustainable packaging,” the memo said.

The price might actually be lower. Take a look.

Good. I am all for it. I can't wait to see how many companies decide it's not worth doing business in the state under this law. Too much spoilage and risk of lawsuits from customers.
ReplyDeleteI would like to suggest that we wrap the heads of these morons in plastic.
