Recycling Infrastructure and Data Accountability Act

The Recycling Infrastructure and Data Accountability Act directs the Environmental Protection Agency to study the feasibility of creating a national database to track recycling facilities, material flows, and program performance. This study will identify regions with limited access to recycling services, catalog major waste and recycling facilities, and analyze economic barriers that hinder the development of new processing centers. If the EPA determines the project is viable, it must establish and maintain a publicly accessible online database within a year of submitting its final report to Congress. The bill aims to improve transparency and planning for recycling infrastructure without mandating specific construction projects or funding allocations.
