Packaging and recycling legislation continues to evolve, and recent developments in California have significant implications for the print and visual communications industry. As SB 343 and SB 54 move through new legal and legislative challenges, it is important for companies to understand what these changes could mean for their businesses and for the industry's ongoing advocacy efforts.
