What is the California “chasing arrows” symbol law?

A bill passed on Wednesday, Sept. 8, 2021, by the California state assembly would ban companies from using the chasing arrows symbol unless the material is used to make new products. Products would be considered recyclable if CalRecycle, the state’s recycling department, determines they meet specific design criteria, including not using toxic chemicals.

In 2021, Maine and Oregon passed laws requiring corporations to pay for the cost of recycling their packaging. In Oregon, the law includes a task force to evaluate “misleading or confusing claims” related to recycling. Legislation is pending in New York that would also ban products from displaying misleading claims.
