The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6456, aims to amend current statutes to mandate the state to utilize and purchase nonplastic recyclable products whenever feasible. The bill specifies that this requirement applies as long as the price difference between nonplastic recyclable products and traditional products does not exceed twenty percent.

This initiative is part of a broader effort to promote sustainability and reduce plastic waste within state operations. By encouraging the use of nonplastic recyclable products, the bill seeks to align state purchasing practices with environmental goals, thereby fostering a more eco-friendly approach to supply procurement.
