Plastics Industry Highly Supportive of EPA’s National Recycling Strategy

Dec 07, 2020
Members of the Plastics Association Leaders Group issued the following statement on the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) request for input into its proposed national recycling strategy:
 
“The recent recycling goal announced by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that calls for an increase in the national recycling rate to 50% by 2030 (“50 by 30”) will promote collaboration and partnership with government, materials manufacturers, brands, non-profits, and NGOs. Collaboration is the key to advancing a more circular and sustainable system for plastics and keeping them out of the environment where they don’t belong.
 
“We applaud the EPA for taking up this process to establish a national recycling strategy for the 21st century to ensure more recyclable materials are collected, processed, and manufactured into new products.
 
“Our industry looks forward to being a valued partner and lending our expertise to support this ambitious goal.”
