   proponents said they remain concerned that industry will try to   
   water down the bill. The initiative's three backers were Linda   
   Escalante of the Natural Resources Defense Council; Michael   
   Sangiacomo, former head of the waste management company   
   Recology; and Caryl Hart, a member of the California Coastal   
   Commission.   
      
   Joshua Baca of the American Chemistry Council, which represents   
   the plastics industry, said the bill unfairly caps the amount of   
   post-consumer recycled plastic that can be used to meet the 25%   
   reduction requirement and limits “new, innovative recycling   
   technologies."   
      
   The bill bans incineration and combustion of plastic, but leaves   
   open the possibility for some forms of so-called chemical   
   recycling.   
      
   Judith Enck, president of Beyond Plastics, said while   
   California's bill goes farther than any other state when it   
   comes to reducing plastic pollution, it still falls short. She   
   said it will only result in about a 10% reduction in overall   
   packaging because producers can make products refillable or   
   switch to other materials. She also said that it relies too   
   heavily on failed plastics recycling policies.   
      
   Plastic production is supposed to triple globally by 2050, she   
   said.
