REUSE Act of 2026
HR 7370, the REUSE Act of 2026, requires the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to produce a public report within two years of enactment. The report must evaluate the feasibility, best practices, and economic impacts of reuse and refill systems for products like food, beverages, cleaning supplies, and shipping containers across sectors including retail, education, and waste management. It specifically examines job creation opportunities, cost-benefit analyses for businesses and waste management, equitable distribution strategies, and barriers to implementation. The bill does not create new regulations but mandates this study to inform future policy decisions on sustainable product systems.
