“Recycling is not just an environmental story. It's an economic story, too.”
In a fireside with @JuliusKrein, @eisenberg_ross of @plasticmakers says that recycling 50% of plastics headed to landfills could support 173,000 jobs and nearly $49 billion in economic activity.
That's roughly the size of the entire U.S. milk industry, created from materials we're currently throwing away.

Congress doesn’t need to reinvent the wheel, it just needs to get out of the way.
@eisenberg_ross of @plasticmakers explains how smart, limited reforms can supercharge American manufacturing and innovation.
Common sense policy. American-made growth.

There are few more surefire ways to stifle innovation than ambiguous #regulations. @EPA must pick up where it left off in 2020 and provide regulatory clarity for #advancedrecycling—unlocking investment, jobs & a stronger manufacturing future. 👇

We appreciate President Trump’s recognition of plastics’ utility in everyday life. Plastics are essential to nearly every sector of our economy, supporting manufacturing, innovation, and directly employing nearly 700,000 Americans.

To meet growing demand for recycled plastic, we’ll need a modern infrastructure to collect it. @chevronphillips and @CharterNextGen are stepping up.
They have joined @LoopFund’s Circular Plastics Fund to boost North America’s recycling infrastructure. bit.ly/3GjmCXl
