Washington, D.C. – July 22, 2024 – The Recycled Materials Association (ReMA) today issued the following statement in response to the White House strategy document: Mobilizing Federal Action on Plastic Pollution: Progress, Principles, and Priorities.
“The recycled materials industry supports the Biden-Harris Administration’s pursuit of ways to reduce plastic pollution by supporting the use of reusable, compostable, and highly recyclable products rather than disposable single-use plastic.
Recycled materials are the key to reducing environmental impacts, while meeting the needs of manufacturers, businesses, and consumers around the globe.
The recycled materials industry is constantly innovating and developing new technologies to process more materials even more efficiently. ReMA encourages producers to design products with recycling in mind. As the Administration looks to promote standards for recyclability, we look forward to joining their efforts.
ReMA, previously known as the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI), has, for almost a century, maintained global trading specifications for all material that can be recycled – including plastic.
ReMA looks forward to working with the Administration as it executes this ambitious program that would take effect over the next several years.”
