Court Halts Enforcement of California’s “Truth in Recycling” Law

Short summary

A federal court granted a preliminary injunction blocking enforcement of California's SB 343, the 'Truth in Recycling' law, which restricts recyclability claims on products and packaging. The court found plaintiffs likely to succeed on vagueness and First Amendment grounds, noting businesses cannot reliably determine whether products meet the law's recyclability criteria. The 60/60 collection requirement was not challenged and may survive severance analysis.
