New Jersey Law Aims to Revive Recycling Market

The move comes amid a statewide market demand for some recyclable materials.

SEATTLE (Waste 360): New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy just signed into law a bill that aims to revitalize the state’s recycling market.

Senate Bill 3939/3944 calls for the creation of a Recycling Market Development Council that would report on best practices to reduce the contamination of recyclables and recommend ways to stimulate demand for the materials. The move comes amid a statewide market demand for some recyclable materials.

NJBIZ reports that under the law, the council would analyze the market for recycling and consider strategies to increase the use of collected recyclables in the manufacturing of new products.
