(1) Washington state law mandates minimum post-consumer recycled content (PCRC) requirements for plastic beverage containers, trash bags, and household cleaning and personal care product containers. This requirement supports new and existing end markets for PCRC material and helps ensure that plastic packaging and other packaging materials are reduced, reused, and recycled.

(2) This chapter implements post-consumer recycled content (PCRC), RCW 70A.245.010 through 70A.245.050 and 70A.245.090 (1), (2), and (4).
