On July 17, the House Energy & As federal lawmakers ramp up support for recycling innovation, Domino Plastics welcomes the attention and action. On July 17, the House Energy & Commerce Subcommittee on Environment held a hearing titled: “Beyond the Blue Bin: Forging a Federal Landscape for Recycling Innovation and Economic Growth.”

The hearing focused on how recycling—especially chemical recycling and e-waste recovery—can help drive domestic job creation, support manufacturing, and reduce dependence on foreign materials.

Federal Support for Smarter Recycling Systems

At the hearing, members of Congress and industry leaders discussed how modernizing recycling infrastructure is critical to U.S. competitiveness. Much of the focus was on plastics, and how technology and national policy can improve how we recover, process, and reuse materials.

Key points from the hearing included:

Recognizing chemical recycling as a manufacturing process to remove regulatory roadblocks
Creating national recycling standards to unify fragmented state and local programs
Enhancing U.S. participation in global plastic policy frameworks
Supporting better labeling, consumer education, and access to recycling systems

What This Means for Domino Plastics

Since 1984, Domino Plastics has been helping manufacturers recycle post-industrial plastic scrap. This renewed federal focus reinforces the importance of our work and opens new opportunities for companies that prioritize clean, sorted, and reusable plastic material.

Here’s why it matters:

Demand for quality plastic scrap is likely to increase as advanced recycling facilities come online
Clearer recycling standards will make it easier for businesses to comply and participate
Economic incentives and infrastructure improvements could expand access to new markets
Public and private investment in recycling technology may increase the value of recovered materials
