Does anyone know where Minnesota is at regarding heavy metal pigments that are encased in plastic, i.e. color concentrate masterbatches used to color thermoplastics. I know they were initially banned, but I recently came across a summary of a June 20, 2000 meeting of the Minnesota Listed metals Advisory Counsil in which the board recommended these types of encased heavy metal pigments NOT be banned.
Thanks,

First, I love the mis-spell in your subject line :-)
Second, I think that their law basis switched over around that time to the CONEG model, being pushed at the time as a pseudo-standardized form of legislation for packaging. Here's a summary link, although it mostly pertains to California's enactment of the statute:

Thanks, David. Ah, the typo in the title............I'm soooo embarassed!!
Looks to me like MN used the CONED standard in the 90's, but then retracted parts of it in 2000. I might have to call the MPCA and ask them about it. Can you think of anyone you need to get even with for something -- I'll use his name.
