US plastic recyclers are calling out for more legislative support to enable the industry to develop, but experience from other parts of the world shows that regulation needs to be clearly defined and considered to be effective.
Argus' Will Collins Global Editor and Zach Kluver Reporter explore how legislative support could support the US plastic recycling industry by stabilising prices and driving long-term investment, and the pitfalls to avoid based on experience from other countries who are further along in the sustainable journey.
Read the paper to find out:
- How the right legislation could decouple recycled polymer prices from virgin polymers and stimulate long-term investment.
- What the US can learn from the experiences of other jurisdictions with more evolved recycling legislation.
- The importance of detailed planning on enforcement and administration of regulations to ensure that they have the maximum impact
