The Plastics Industry Association applauds the bipartisan leadership of the House Energy and Commerce Committee’s Subcommittee on Environment for advancing two key recycling bills during markup: H.R. 2145, the Recycling Infrastructure and Accessibility Act (RIAA), and H.R. 4109, the Recycling and Composting Accountability Act (RCAA).
“Actions represent an important step toward improving recycling accessibility, enhancing data collection and reporting, and strengthening the effectiveness of the nation’s recycling system,” said Chris Rager, Vice President of Government Affairs at PLASTICS. “We commend the committee for advancing commonsense legislation that supports American manufacturing and helps keep valuable materials in productive use and out of the environment.”
PLASTICS recognized House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Brett Guthrie, Ranking Member Frank Pallone, Jr., Subcommittee on Environment Chairman Gary Palmer, Ranking Member Paul Tonko, and other members of the subcommittee for their bipartisan support of the legislation.
PLASTICS also commended bill sponsors U.S. Reps. Mariannette Miller-Meeks and Joe Neguse for their leadership on the legislation. The two bills were combined during the markup to align with the bipartisan STEWARD Act framework previously passed by the Senate.
Rager added that markup reflects continued bipartisan momentum around policies that support recycling innovation, infrastructure expansion, and circular manufacturing solutions.
“We are encouraged by the strong bipartisan support demonstrated during markup and look forward to consideration by the full committee,” Rager said. “Action also helps build momentum around additional proposals, including the Recycled Materials Attribution Act (RMAA), the Recycling Technology Innovation Act (RTIA), and the Packaging and Claims Knowledge (PACK) Act, that support all recycling technologies, strengthen U.S. manufacturing, and advance a more circular economy.”
