The agreement resolved a complaint by district attorneys from 23 California counties. They said it’s misleading to label products “biodegradable” or “compostable” unless scientifically proven.
A $1 Trillion World
According to MarketWatch, Bezos would have to spend $28 million a day to avoid getting richer. In other words, a minus-$1.5 million is not even enough to lower his tax bill.
Of course, the California law doesn’t care about that. It bans the sales of plastics labeled biodegradable that don’t have disclaimers about how quickly they biodegrade.
Consumers Will Pay
According to reports, environmentally conscious consumers are willing to pay a premium for products that are truly biodegradable. That’s because science says plastics can take hundreds of years to decompose.
“Given the increased focus on reducing plastic waste, this judgment will help ensure that customers are not misled about which plastic products will actually break down in the landfill or compost,” Napa County Deputy District Attorney Patrick Collins told SFGate.
