Ive got only one problem with recycled content laws. If a state like California or Wisconsin or what ever state has a recycled content law on plastics it should be on all types of plastics not just the most popular ones like types 1 and 2 cause its kinda like discriminating on the plastics. So there is a way to get around the recycled content laws just don’t use types 1 or 2 plastics which is an easy loop hole. Or there is another loop hole just inport it from another state. So make it the law that all imported plastics have to use the recycled content to. So the result would be all plastics sold in or out of the have to contain the recycled content.
