Launch Of RFI #2: Standards and Methods for Evaluation of Lifecycle Impacts

The Plastic Pollution and Recycling Modernization Act requires the Oregon Environmental Quality Commission to establish by rule the methodology, procedures, and requirements to be used by producers of covered products when conducting evaluations of life cycle environmental impacts pursuant to the Act. Evaluations conducted by producers of packaging, printing and writing paper, and food serviceware in accordance with these rules will be used by the top 25 largest producers in the state to fulfill an obligation to evaluate and disclose impacts and can be used by all producers in requesting eco-modulated fee discounts.
