U.S. Lawmakers Signal Strong Support for Recycling Innovation — What It Means for Plastic Scrap Buyers

As federal lawmakers push for stronger recycling systems, Domino Plastics sees a bright future for the plastic scrap industry. 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
