CIWMB’s plastics staff had proposed eight modifications in a recent advisory committee meeting, according to a bulletin from State Recycling Laws Update, published by Raymond Communications, Columbia, MD. One proposal by John Nuffer would permit companies more flexibility for meeting the recycled-content mandate. He also asked for compliance alternatives for companies that have technical difficulties in using recycled content. Along with the industry-friendly recommendations, Nuffer also seeks closing of the “loophole” on reclosable clamshell containers, and he seeks additional authority to make reluctant companies respond to CIWMB requests. For more details, call Raymond Communications at 301/345-4237.
