This bill mandates that all plastic construction materials used in State-funded construction projects must contain a minimum of 10 percent postconsumer recycled content for materials purchased within the first two years following the bill's enactment, increasing to at least 15 percent thereafter. The definition of "plastic construction material" is specified as any construction material made of more than 50 percent plastic, measured by cost. The bill outlines the definitions of key terms such as "construction material," "construction project," and "governmental entity," ensuring clarity in its application.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions for exemptions from the recycled content requirements if the use of compliant materials would raise the overall project cost by 25 percent or if such materials are unavailable for the intended application. The Commissioner of Environmental Protection is tasked with adopting necessary rules and regulations to implement the act, which is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
