In Case You Missed It: Progress Report on Circular Economy

In September EPA issued a progress report highlighting our efforts related to advancing a circular economy for all.

This report features our progress in developing the circular economy strategy series, implementation actions, and our progress in responding to Congressional directives to create grant programs in support of recycling infrastructure and education and outreach.

The Circular Economy Strategy Series outlines a transformative 10-year vision that embraces circularity and sustainable materials management and addresses climate change and environmental justice.

EPA launched the National Recycling Strategy, the first part of the series, on the same day that President Biden signed the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law: November 15, 2021, America Recycles Day.
