Nestle backs amendment to bill mandating PCR for plastic bottles in Maine | Waste Dive
- Nestlé Waters North America (NWNA) is supporting an amendment to a bill in Maine (LD 102) that would set minimum post-consumer recycled (PCR) content requirements for plastic beverage containers sold in the state. The amendment NWNA is backing calls for altering targets to begin at 25% by April 2025 and increase to 30% by April 2030. ​
- The original bill called for these containers to have 15% PCR by 2022, increasing to 25% by 2024. Other notable changes include an exemption for small manufacturers and the removal of language setting requirements for plastic caps.
- Recycling equipment company Tomra has endorsed the new language, along with the National Resources Council of Maine (NRCM), Conservation Law Foundation and other environmental groups. "Recycled content legislation supports plastic recycling markets because it creates more demand than would otherwise be created because of the relative low-cost of virgin plastic," said NCRM's Sustainable Maine Director Sarah Nichols in a statement to Waste Dive.

SENECA ROCKS, W.Va. – Seneca Rocks is one of the most unique landmarks in West Virginia and it’s one of the best places to visit for an entire weekend.
My friends and I were looking for a place where we could do just unplug and have little to no service for a weekend. Since Seneca Rocks is in the heart of Pendleton County, we figured it would be a great way to see a side of West Virginia we weren’t familiar with.
