But not everyone was happy with some aspects of the new policy - they say it opens the door to “industrial plastic burning.” Fri, 05 May 2023 21:28:29 GMT https://www.wcmu.org/local-regional-news/2023-05-05/sierra-club-fights-plastic-burning-hopes-to-ban-chemical-recycling Teresa Homsi https://www.wcmu.org/local-regional-news/2023-05-02/state-addresses-what-waste-law-overhaul-means-for-michigan-recycling It’s been nearly a month since Michigan quietly implemented an overhaul of its waste management law.
