This bipartisan bill aims to modernize the U.S. recycling infrastructure, increase the use of recycled plastic
Global packaging leader Berry Global Group, Inc. (NYSE: BERY) supports the "Accelerating a Circular Economy for Plastics and Recycling Innovation Act of 2024," introduced by Congressmen Dr. Larry Bucshon (R-Indiana) and Don Davis (D-North Carolina). This solutions-oriented legislation aims to increase plastics recycling and prevent plastic from ending up in the environment. Berry operates nearly 100 facilities in the U.S. and supports more than 2,800 jobs in Indiana's 8th Congressional District and more than 135 jobs in North Carolina's 1st Congressional District.
"We would like to thank Representatives Bucshon and Davis for coming together in a bipartisan fashion to bolster plastic recycling, support jobs and the economy, and create regulatory certainty for businesses to tackle these important challenges," said Kevin Kwilinski, CEO of Berry Global. "Berry supports this act because it will help modernize the nation's fragmented recycling infrastructure and significantly increase use of recycled material in new products."
