Oregon’s Plastic Pollution and Recycling Modernization Act (SB 582)

Since Governor Kate Brown signed the Plastic Pollution and Recycling Modernization Act (Senate Bill 582) into law on August 6, the Oregon DEQ has been developing an implementation plan, estimated timeline and other resources to support implementation of the new law and inform interested parties. The law goes into effect on January 1, 2022, and the start-up phase will span multiple years with extensive planning, research, rulemaking and stakeholder engagement.
