Dan Felton, President & CEO of the Flexible Packaging Association (FPA), testified last week before the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Energy and Commerce (E&C) Subcommittee on Environment during a hearing about recycling innovation and economic growth. The Committee focuses on the regulation of solid, hazardous, and nuclear wastes, including mining, nuclear, oil, gas, and coal combustion waste.
After introducing FPA, Felton gave an overview of what flexible packaging is, cited several industries and products using flexible packaging, and highlighted the value of flexible packaging.
Felton then spoke about recycling and proposed to the subcommittee several public policy issues on which FPA is focused to increase flexible packaging recycling through innovation and economic growth, and that could benefit from federal government support.
This includes the Recycling Infrastructure and Accessibility Act (RIAA) and the Recycling and Composting Accountability Act (RCCA) currently under consideration in Congress; advanced recycling technologies; the use of recycled content in flexible packaging; and support for a federal law for the labeling of packaging for compostability, recyclability, and reusability.
