This bill aims to limit the size of shipping boxes used by large online retailers and major retailers in New Jersey, specifically prohibiting them from using boxes that exceed two times the volume of the product being shipped. The legislation defines a "large online retailer" as a business with annual gross sales of at least one million dollars that sells goods online and ships them via mail or parcel delivery. A "major retailer" is defined as a retail establishment occupying at least 75,000 square feet with 50 or more employees. The bill also provides a definition for "shipping box" as a cardboard or corrugated container used for shipping products.

Violations of this bill would result in civil penalties ranging from $250 to $500 for each offense, with each day of continued violation counting as a separate offense. The bill empowers various entities, including the Department of Environmental Protection and the Division of Consumer Affairs, to initiate civil actions for penalties or injunctive relief to enforce compliance. The intent of the legislation is to address the environmental impact of excessive packaging waste generated by online shopping, encouraging retailers to adopt more sustainable shipping practices.
