REUSE Act of 2026

This bill would require the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to publish a report within 2 years on systems that let products and beverage containers be reused or refilled many times. The report would look at how workable these systems are and best practices for sectors such as food service, food and beverage products, cleaning and personal care products, shipping of goods, and schools and colleges. It would evaluate job creation, costs and benefits for businesses and waste managers, the local, State, and Federal support needed, and existing barriers. The EPA would consider programs in States, local governments, and foreign countries and consult with stakeholders.
