The report determined that nearly 90 percent of states didn’t merit 3 out of 5 points. And among the states that scored relatively well, “we graded on a pretty aggressive curve,” said Anja BrandonSource comment, the group’s director of plastics policy.
Brandon called the report “the first-of-its-kind report to examine and establish a baseline for how we’re doing as a country.”
