“The importance of SB 212 for California and the country should not be underestimated. Californians believe the producers of products should share in the responsibility to manage the negative impacts on society such as medications fueling addiction and needles in the trash sticking our waste workers, and this bill does that by providing a service Californians desperately want. We hope other states will follow our lead,”
said Heidi Sanborn, Senior Advisor for the California Product Stewardship Council.
