Bill > HR8059

This bill, the Recycling and Composting Accountability Act, aims to improve recycling and composting programs in the United States. It requires the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator to conduct various studies and reports, including an inventory of materials recovery facilities, a baseline of recycling and composting data, and an assessment of the diversion of recyclable materials from the circular market. The bill also directs the EPA to develop voluntary guidelines for best practices that states, local governments, and tribes can use to enhance recycling and composting, such as labeling techniques and educational resources. Additionally, the bill authorizes appropriations to the EPA to carry out the activities specified in the legislation.
