FPA Submits a Statement on Record for the U.S. Senate’s Committee on Environment and Public Works (EPW) Hearing on Examining Extended Producer Responsibility Policies for Consumer Packaging

On behalf of the Flexible Packaging Association (FPA), I write to commend the Committee on Environment and Public Works (EPW) for its continued efforts to improve recycling across the U.S., including the March 6, 2024, hearing on Examining Extended Producer Responsibility Policies for Consumer Packaging. FPA and its members strongly agree with Senator Capito’s sentiment during her opening statement that “acknowledging our continued reliance on plastic and working to prevent plastic pollution are not mutually exclusive.” Toward this end, FPA remains committed to supporting the improvement and expansion of recycling and composting, therefore, provide our input on this important topic.
