Policy Strategy On Plastic Pollution Released.

The Biden administration has released a strategy document titled "Mobilizing Federal Action on Plastic Pollution: Progress, Principles and Priorities." The document outlines current and future federal actions aimed at reducing the impact of plastic pollution. It reviews existing efforts, such as EPA rules and risk assessments of toxic chemicals used in plastic production, ongoing research, procurement programs, grant programs for waste management and recycling infrastructure, and the Marine Debris Program. The administration also announced a goal to phase out federal procurement of single-use plastics for food service operations by 2027 and for all federal operations by 2035.
