Introduction
- Toxics in Packaging Legislation
In 1990, Rhode Island enacted the Toxic Packaging Reduction Act (the Act), which is based on the Model Toxics in Packaging Legislation drafted by the Coalition of Northeastern Governors.
Nineteen other states have enacted toxics-in-packaging laws modeled after the Model Toxics in Packaging Legislation (California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Maryland, Rhode Island, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin). The model legislation is now being promoted by the Toxics in Packaging Clearinghouse, which is administered by the Northeast Recycling Council Inc.
