摘要

塑料包装行业面临着越来越大的股东和公众压力,要求减少消费后塑料包装对环境的影响。美国再生塑料市场的定位是增长;然而,由于回收市场的问题,开发可靠的消费后塑料供应将是昂贵的。对出口市场的依赖限制了对国内回收能力的投资,当地的收集计划差异很大,许多消费者对什么可以回收一无所知。目前制造原生塑料的低成本环境使这些挑战更加复杂。本文评估的机会和立法的最低回收内容要求包装行业的挑战。首先,它提供了当前供应链的概述,分析了推动这些过程变化的因素,并描述了回收市场当前面临的挑战和以前使用的解决方案。接下来,它提出了一个示范法解决方案,并分析了为回收塑料的最低数量制定法定要求的好处和挑战。最后,评估通过联邦和州立法的可能性。

The Case for a Legislated Market in Minimum Recycled Content for Plastics
The plastic packaging industry faces mounting shareholder and public pressure to reduce the environmental impact of post-consumer plastic packaging. The recycled plastics market in the United States is positioned for growth; however, developing a reliable supply of post-consumer plastics will be expensive because of problems in the recycling market. Reliance on export markets has limited investment in domestic recycling capacity, local collection programs vary considerably, and many consumers are ignorant about what can be recycled. These challenges are compounded by the current low-cost environment for manufacturing virgin plastics. This Article evaluates the opportunities and challenges of legislating a minimum recycled content requirement for the packaging industry. First, it provides an overview of the current supply chain, analyzes the factors that are driving change in these processes, and describes the current challenges with the recycling market and solutions that have been previously utilized. Next, it proposes a model law solution, and analyzes the benefits and challenges of creating a statutory requirement for a minimum quantity of recycled plastics. Finally, it assesses the possibilities of passing federal and state legislation.
