What it does
The PACK Act would amend the Federal Trade Commission Act to prohibit deceptive claims about packaging being recyclable, compostable, or reusable unless specific requirements are met, such as providing evidence, qualifying claims based on recycling program availability, or offering means for reuse. It affects businesses making environmental claims about consumer product packaging and requires third-party certification for such claims. The bill also directs the FTC to issue compliance guidance (but not binding rules) and establishes an advisory council, while preempting state laws that differ from federal requirements.
