EDITORIAL: Flawed environmental bill is bad for business | The Daily Gazette
SECTIONS
Leave it to New York state lawmakers to come up with a business-environmental bill that hurts businesses without doing a lot for the environment.
The Extended Producer Responsibility Act (A5801/S1185B) attempts to shift the burden for recycling many materials from municipalities, where it’s been a great success, to the businesses that produce of packaging and paper products.
Bill sponsors would have you believe that shifting the cost of recycling onto the companies that make the materials is a good thing.
But for businesses based on the distribution of paper including newspapers, paper manufacturers like Quad Graphics and Mohawk Paper, and companies like The Gazette that print materials for other businesses the bill could have devastating financial effects.
By Earth Day, which rolls around in less than three weeks, state Sen. Todd Kaminsky plans to win passage of his Extended Producer Responsibility Act. It must not become law without major revisions.
