A new bill filed by State Rep. Mark Brody seeks to update North Carolina statutes with definitions and procedures related to advanced recycling processes, according to the North Carolina State House.
The bill, filed as HB 605 on March 31 during the 2025 regular session, was formally listed with the short title: ‘Definitions for Advanced Recycling.’
The following is our breakdown, based on the actual bill text, and may include interpretation to clarify its provisions.
In essence, this bill defines advanced recycling terms and procedures, updating the North Carolina General Statutes to include new definitions for processes involved in advanced recycling. It introduces definitions such as “mass balance attribution,” a chain of custody accounting methodology for tracking recycled feedstocks within a third-party-certified system, and “recycled products,” which are goods produced from recyclable materials using mass balance attribution in chemical recycling processes. The bill also outlines the “third-party certification system” as an international set of rules for implementing mass balance methodologies. This act becomes effective upon becoming law.
Of the four sponsors of this bill, Steve Tyson proposed the most bills (24) during the 2025 regular session.
Bills in North Carolina follow a multi-step process before becoming law. A lawmaker starts by filing a bill, which is assigned to a committee for review. The bill must be read three times in each chamber. If one chamber changes the bill after the other passes it, both must agree on the final version. Once both chambers approve the same bill, it goes to the governor, who has 10 days (or 30 if the legislature is not in session) to sign, veto, or let it become law without a signature.
