It’s time to Recycle Better!
Here’s a copy of the email we will send Congress on your behalf:
SUBJECT: Time to Recycle Better
Dear Rep. [Last Name],I am writing to respectfully urge you to advance H.R.7502, the Recycled Materials Attribution Act.This legislation would establish a clear and uniform federal framework for recycled content claims, helping ensure transparency and consistency while supporting innovation in recycling technologies and supply chains.In particular, the bill would:
- Define key terms related to recycling and recycled content
- Prohibit misleading recycled-content claims
- Establish a uniform national standard, enforceable by the Federal Trade Commission
- Allow mass balance accounting for recycled-content claims when verified by third-party certification
The legislation strikes an important balance between protecting consumers from misleading claims and promoting advanced recycling practices. Establishing consistent national standards would provide much-needed regulatory certainty without greenwashing operations.Thank you for your time and leadership on this key issue.
Sincerely,[Your Name][City, State]
