LANSING, Mich. (<\/span>June 2<\/span>9<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a02023) \u2014\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>Sen.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>Sean McCann<\/span><\/span><\/strong>\u00a0(D-Kalamazoo) and Rep.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>Christine Morse<\/span><\/span>\u00a0(D-Texas Twp<\/span>.<\/span>) reintroduced legislation t<\/span>his week<\/span>\u00a0to update and modernize Michigan\u2019s recycling system by expanding Michigan\u2019s \u201cBottle Bill\u201d law.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Senate Bill 453<\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span><\/span>House Bill 4904<\/span>\u00a0would extend Michigan\u2019s current 10-cent deposit on certain soft drinks, beer, and other carbonated beverages to all other non-carbonated beverages, except for milk containers.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cOver\u00a0<\/span><\/span>40<\/span>\u00a0years ago, Michigan became a pioneer with its historic \u2018Bottle Bill\u2019 to promote recycling and prevent littering,\u201d said\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>Sen. McCann<\/span><\/span><\/strong>. \u201cTo this day, it is our state\u2019s most widely used and accepted state conservation program. We have an opportunity and responsibility to expand upon the success of the iconic legislation from the 1970s. There is no good reason that some of our plastic, glass and aluminum water bottles, and other single<\/span>–<\/span>use containers are not returnable when we have a functioning system that consumers and retailers are familiar with. We must act to protect our future by expanding our beverage container recycling system to keep bottles and cans out of landfills now!\u201d<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cBy updating our current bottle return system and adding additional incentives, we can continue to solidify Michigan as one of the leaders in our nation when it comes to bottle returns,\u201d said\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Rep.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0Morse<\/span><\/span>. \u201cI look forward to working with Senator McCann and stakeholders to strengthen our return system and keep our environment clean.\u201d<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Among other reforms, the bills would:<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
  • Require universal redemption, allowing consumers to take any recyclable containers to a large store while allowing smaller stores to\u00a0<\/span><\/span>maintain<\/span>\u00a0smaller takebacks<\/span>;<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Create a bottle<\/span>–<\/span>handling fund to reimburse distributors and dealers on a per-bottle-basis<\/span>;<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  • <\/span><\/span>Make funding available for audits and fraud enforcement<\/span>; and<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Provide<\/span>\u00a0$25 million each year to address contaminated sites.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
