Tracking Plastic Act of 2026

This bill creates a federal working group on tracking recycled plastic content. Members would come from several federal agencies, including the Environmental Protection Agency, the Federal Trade Commission, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology, along with representatives from colleges and the National Academy of Sciences. The group would write recommendations to increase the use of recycled plastic resin and to improve how recycled plastic content is measured, tracked, and reported. It would also describe a federal tracking system to help line up different state requirements. The group would send yearly reports to Congress and would end within 10 years.
