Let’s advance American manufacturing together
You can help build a circular supply chain for plastic, keeping more of these valuable materials in use and in critical products
Policymakers Can Accelerate Progress
Recycling innovations are already delivering results. But to scale its impact, we need smart, forward-thinking policy.
To fully unlock the benefits of American recycling, Congress and federal agencies should:
- Support modern recycling infrastructure
- Encourage private investment in recycling innovation
- Promote the use of recycled plastic in U.S. manufacturing
- Help American companies meet sustainability goals
- Protect American jobs and economic competitiveness
Emerging recycling technologies — namely “advanced recycling” can help us recover more plastic, reduce waste, and meet rising demand for recycled content. Many major U.S. companies have already committed to using less virgin plastic—and more recycled plastic—in their products. Now we need policies that support that shift.
