I think this new legislation is great, but it does not even come close to solving the problems we have with recycling. All incinerators generate power, most do not make enough to push that back to the grid, see Newton's first law. You can't input fule to destroy something and get more energy out of it than you out into destroying it. The EPA can generate law after law for manufacturing, and local manisapalities can make all the rules they want. Neither of these address the actual recycler. Recycling is a for profit business. They choose the most profitable things to sell off. If they don't have a buyer, or the market is below their cost to sort these items out, they just send them to a landfill.
Legislation to regulate the recycler it what's needed.
