Oregon recycling law under constitutional challenge heads to July trial
A federal lawsuit challenges Oregon’s Plastic Pollution and Recycling Modernization Act (PRMRA); U.S. District Judge Michael Simon granted a preliminary injunction blocking enforcement for NAW members while the court proceeds, with two main claims set for trial in July and other claims dismissed without prejudice. Oregon’s DEQ says the act remains in effect for others, and NAW contends the ruling still leaves relief possible at trial.
