12 states sue Trump over tariffs, say emergency powers don’t cover trade

Twelve U.S. states, led by New York, are suing the Trump administration over its sweeping April 2 tariff plan, claiming it illegally used emergency powers to impose taxes on imports from over 180 countries. The lawsuit says Trump bypassed Congress and misused the 1977 IEEPA to slap up to 145 percent tariffs on Chinese goods and 25 percent on Canadian and Mexican imports, citing vague national security threats. Here's the kicker: if courts agree, it could redefine presidential power in global trade, potentially restoring congressional authority over tariffs. For international trade, this sets a pivotal precedent—balancing executive flexibility against legal oversight could reshape how nations negotiate and respond to U.S. trade policy.https://san.com/cc/12-states-sue-trump-over-tariffs-say-emergency-powers-dont-cover-trade/

"Big changes are brewing in the recycling world. How2Recycle is considering downgrading the recyclability of polypropylene coffee pods, HDPE trays, and bulky rigid plastics due to low acceptance rates. If finalized in July, this could shake up packaging strategies for major brands like Keurig Dr Pepper. But here’s the twist—paper-based packaging could gain a competitive edge. With fiber cartons retaining their 'widely recyclable' status, brands may pivot toward paper solutions to maintain sustainability claims. Could this be the moment paper packaging surges ahead? Stay tuned for more industry insights."https://resource-recycling.com/plastics/2025/02/05/coffee-pods-bulky-rigids-may-lose-check-locally-label/

New DOJ proposal still calls for Google to divest Chrome, but allows for AI investments

"Big news in tech and its ripple effect on packaging! The DOJ is still pushing for Google to sell Chrome, arguing it maintains an illegal monopoly. While AI investments like Anthropic are spared, search-related payments and Android's future remain in question. But here’s the packaging twist—Google’s dominance in search influences consumer behavior, shaping e-commerce trends that impact demand for shipping materials, including paper-based packaging. If Google’s grip weakens, advertisers may shift strategies, potentially altering online retail patterns and packaging needs. Stay tuned, because even a browser battle can reshape supply chains!"https://techcrunch.com/2025/03/08/new-doj-proposal-still-calls-for-google-to-divest-chrome-but-allows-for-ai-investments/
