HB 4028 classifies preproduction plastics—such as resin pellets, flakes, fibers, and powders—as Class II nonhazardous industrial waste under Texas law. The bill requires the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) to regulate and monitor preproduction plastic pollution, including setting water quality standards that account for its environmental impact. It also mandates facilities handling preproduction plastics to conduct monthly spill audits and monitor stormwater discharges to prevent pollution.
