Look, I know what you are thinking when you hear the words packaging law. You are thinking, that is not my job. I change oil. I run a truck. I take care of customers. I do not sit around reading state recycling statutes.
Here is the thing, though. This one found its way onto your price sheet anyway. And that is why I am talking about it today.
On Friday, October sixteenth, the Auto Care Association went into federal court in Colorado over the state's producer responsibility law for recycling. Now, I am going to translate that into plain English, because the legal name sounds like something designed to make you stop listening. Producer responsibility just means the company that makes or sells a packaged product has to help pay for recycling that packaging. The bottle, the jug, the box it ships in. Somebody has to pay to deal with it after the customer is done with it, and Colorado said, fine, the producers pay.
