As we get closer to passing the Packaging Reduction and Recycling Infrastructure Act (PRRIA), lobbyists are pushing myths, like PRRIA will hurt businesses. Let's get the facts straight.
* The packaging reduction is gradual, over the course of 12 years, providing plenty of time for corporations to comply
* The bill only applies to large companies
* Legislators have incorporated 68 concessions to bill opponents
* Businesses often oppose public-interest regulation (see: seat belts, smoking in restaurants, leaded gasoline)
* The status quo of using toxic chemicals in food and beverage containers is physically hurting us. That should be unacceptable
