| Comment |
The American Chemistry Council’s (ACC) Plastics Division is pleased to submit these comments on the California Air Resources Board’s discussion draft to update AB 32. The goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions is an important one, and we hope to provide helpful comments and insights to the Board in both these written comments as well as later in the public comment process. ACC sponsors educational and outreach programs to improve plastics recycling and recovery. Environmental policy is a critical issue for the business of American chemistry and we are pleased to participate as stakeholders in this important activity. We do not here comment on all the areas presented in the Draft. Our primary purpose in commenting is to emphasize for the Board that plastics play a critical role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions in several key areas, and to explain how enhanced recycling and recovery of plastics could provide additional greenhouse gas emissions reductions in the state. Please feel free to contact us should you have any questions or comments. Thank you in advance for considering our views.
