S 2110 United States Senate · 119th Congress

REUSE Act of 2025

The REUSE Act of 2025 requires the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to produce a report within two years of enactment. The report will evaluate the feasibility, best practices, and economic impacts of reuse and refill systems for products like food, beverages, cleaning supplies, and shipping containers across various sectors. It will specifically assess job creation opportunities, cost benefits for businesses and waste management, equitable access in different communities, and existing barriers to implementing such systems. The bill does not mandate new regulations but directs the EPA to study how reuse systems could be expanded, affecting businesses and communities that might adopt these models.

Introduced in Senate → Engrossed in Senate · 1 edit · Nov 20, 2025

MINOR

No substantive policy changes were made between the Introduced and Engrossed versions of S 2110 (REUSE Act of 2025). The differences are entirely formatting and typographical, such as combining section numbers with their titles on a single line and removing extra blank lines. All definitions, report requirements, objectives, and considerations remain identical.

TECHNICAL

Formatting changes only: section numbers were merged with their headings onto the same line (e.g., '1.Short title' instead of '1.' on one line and 'Short title' on the next), subsection labels like '(a)' were appended directly to heading text, and extraneous blank lines between provisions were removed. No policy content was altered.
