Plain-English Summary

This bill would make it illegal for companies to falsely claim that their products are made from recycled materials in advertisements or marketing, protecting consumers from being misled about how environmentally friendly a product actually is. The law would apply to any product sold to regular shoppers and would be enforced by federal agencies that oversee consumer protection and fair business practices. Companies that violate the rule could face penalties for deceiving customers about recycled content.
