The shift to online shopping has accelerated dramatically in recent years. At the touch of a screen, consumers can search for a product, order and have it delivered to their door, sometimes on the same day. As consumers have come to appreciate the safety, speed and convenience of buying products online, they also are increasingly more concerned about how those products are packaged and delivered. European consumers are demanding that retailers do more to ensure their packaging is widely recyclable, and 49% believe that paper-based packaging is easier to recycle than other materials. Recycling data reflects this belief: 82% of paper packaging is recycled, the highest recycling rate of any packaging material. Glass has a recycling rate of 76%, metal 76% and plastic just 38% (Eurostat, 2020).
NEW MILFORD - A new lawsuit is accusing the Kimberly-Clark Corp., a producer of paper goods for household brands such as Huggies, Kleenex and Scott, of contaminating local water sources, including the Housatonic River, with dangerous "forever chemicals" over the course of decades.
The lawsuit was filed Oct. 14 by Silver Golub & Teitell on behalf of Minah McBreairty, whose property on Kent Road in New Milford sits directly across from a 165-acre, unlined landfill operated by Kimberly-Clark from 1969 to 2010.
The suit claims testing done in April 2024 revealed that drinking water from McBreairty's well contained high levels of PFOS and PFOA, two of the most hazardous types of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The PFOS concentration of 8.74 nanograms per liter and PFOA concentration of 4.83 nanograms per liter far exceeded maximum levels deemed safe by the Environmental Protection Agency, according to the lawsuit.
