Anthony, Mike, and Karthik discuss the proposed House bill “Accelerating a Circular Economy for Plastics and Recycling Innovation Act of 2024”, which would create a unified framework for recycling in America but also dramatically change the definition of recycling. They discuss the impacts, the drivers, what the bill would mean for the chemicals industry, and what they hope to see in a finalized version.
