FPA Submits a Statement on the Record for the Committee on Environment and Public Works May 22, 2024, Hearing on Efforts to Improve Reuse and Recycling

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 May 22, 2024, hearing on Efforts to Improve Reuse and Recycling. FPA and its members strongly agree with Senator Capito’s sentiment during her opening statement that “The lack of consistent and clear labeling on everyday products is due to great variation in existing infrastructure and local recycling requirements across the country.” To this end, FPA remains committed to supporting the improvement and expansion of recycling and composting and provides our input on this important topic.
