Full text of New Jersey New Jersey Statutes § 13:1e-99, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 13:1e-99.
a. A manufacturer shall achieve compliance with the postconsumer recycled content
requirements of this act 1 based on the average amount of postconsumer recycled content, by weight or another
metric, as determined by the department, contained in its products. A manufacturer shall calculate the average amount of postconsumer recycled content
contained in its products using data specific to products sold or offered for sale
in New Jersey, if such data are available. If a manufacturer demonstrates to the department that State-specific data are not
available or feasible to generate, then the manufacturer may utilize national data
to calculate the average amount of postconsumer recycled content contained in its
products. The calculation of averages may be based on a manufacturer's entire product line
or separated into product sub-lines, provided that all of the manufacturer's products
are accounted for in the calculations. b. If a manufacturer relies on national data to calculate the average amount of postconsumer
recycled content contained in its products, the manufacturer shall: (1) prorate the national data based on market share or population, to ensure that
the percentage of postconsumer recycled content calculated for products sold in New
Jersey is the same percentage as calculated for the nation; and (2) document the methodology used to prorate the national data in the report required
pursuant to paragraph (1) of subsection a. of section 14 2 of this act. c. For the purposes of this section, “ product ” means a rigid plastic container, plastic beverage container, glass container, paper
carryout bag, plastic carryout bag, or plastic trash bag that is subject to the postconsumer
recycled content requirements of this act. 1
