California Chasing Arrows Recycling Law, SB 343, Preliminarily Enjoined

Short summary

A federal court preliminarily enjoined California's SB 343, which required producers to remove chasing-arrows recycling symbols unless 60% of state facilities actually recycled the material. The court found plaintiffs likely to succeed on First Amendment and vagueness grounds, noting the law could suppress truthful claims and send more recyclable material to landfills. The ruling may ripple to other states' extended producer responsibility laws, several of which face similar litigation.
