The Recycling Leadership Council applauds @SenJohnCurtis for introducing the Recycled Materials Attribution Act (RMAA) in the U.S. Senate, an important step toward modernizing America's recycling system.
With bipartisan support already advancing in the House, Congress has an opportunity to deliver meaningful progress toward a stronger, more effective recycling system.
Thank you, Senator Curtis, for your leadership in advancing this commonsense solution.

In the Longview News-Journal, RLC spokesperson John Hewitt highlights how thousands of different recycling systems across the country can create confusion for consumers and make it harder to build confidence in recycling.
The bipartisan Recycled Materials Attribution Act (RMAA) and PACK Act offer a path toward greater consistency through clear national standards for recyclable and recycled-content claims, while supporting continued investment in innovative recycling technologies.
Thank you, @TXRandy14, for leading the PACK Act and serving as an original cosponsor of RMAA.

Today, the Recycled Materials Attribution Act (RMAA) advanced out of the @HouseCommerce, building bipartisan momentum for a more modern, consistent approach to recycling and recycled-content claims nationwide.
By establishing uniform definitions for recycling the RMAA will reduce consumer confusion, unlock innovation and reduce plastic waste, and keep products affordable.
Thank you to @RepGuthrie, @RepLangworthy, @RepVeasey and @RepGusBilirakis for their leadership in moving this practical, common-sense solution forward.
Thank you @repgabeevans for joining the bipartisan group of lawmakers supporting the Recycled Materials Attribution Act (RMAA) and efforts to modernize America’s recycling system.

Nearly 10,000 recycling systems operate across the U.S., creating confusion for consumers and challenges for businesses investing in recycling.
A new @thehill op-ed from @consumerbrands highlights how national standards and technologies like advanced recycling can help modernize our systems and recover more materials.

Americans deserve a recycling system that’s easier to understand and built for today’s products and technologies.
In @thehill, John Hewitt (@consumerbrands) makes the case for national standards through the Recycled Materials Attribution Act and for embracing technologies like advanced recycling alongside traditional recycling.

Yesterday, the @HouseCommerce CMT Subcommittee advanced the Recycled Materials Attribution Act (RMAA) and PACK Act, two bipartisan bills that would bring greater clarity and consistency to recycling and recycled-content claims.
Together, these bills would give consumers clearer information, provide businesses greater certainty and support continued investment and innovation in recycling technologies.
Thank you to @RepGusBilirakis, @RepLangworthy and @TXRandy14 for leading practical solutions to strengthen America’s recycling system.
RLC spokesperson John Hewitt shares the opportunity to modernize America’s recycling system through policies that support innovation and clarity.

Congress Should Pass RMAA to Create American Jobs and Cut Waste
"The RMAA creates one uniform national standard for recycled content marketing claims in place of the patchwork of state rules that businesses face today."

Taxpayers have a vested interest in recycling policies. @RepDanCrenshaw 's Recycling Technology Innovation Act provides much-needed regulatory clarity for advanced recycling technologies, giving businesses the long-term certainty necessary to develop and succeed.

Congress hasn't touched recycling policy in decades. That's about to change: two bills debated this week would set the first federal standards for recycling labels and "recycled content" claims. Here's what's in the RMAA and PACK Act.
