Bill > S2110

This bill directs the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator to prepare a comprehensive report on reuse and refill systems within two years of the Act's enactment. The report will examine the feasibility and best practices for implementing reuse and refill systems across various sectors, including food service, consumer products, transportation, and educational institutions. The Administrator will evaluate different types of reuse systems, their potential for equitable distribution, job creation opportunities, economic costs and benefits, and existing barriers to widespread implementation. The report must consider reuse program approaches from states, local governments, and foreign countries, and will involve consultation with relevant stakeholders. Key terms are specifically defined, such as "reuse and refill system," which means a mechanism for products and containers to be repeatedly recovered, inspected, repaired, and reissued for multiple cycles. The bill aims to provide a detailed analysis of how reusable and refillable product systems could be developed and expanded, potentially supporting environmental sustainability and economic innovation.
