Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the Center for Biological Diversity, 5 Gyres and Oceana, please support the Research for Environmental Uses and Sustainable Economies (REUSE) Act of 2025. Organizations across coalitions are invited to sign onto this letter that will be sent to all Senators (minus existing cosponsors) asking them to cosponsor the REUSE Act which would direct the EPA to conduct a feasibility study on reuse and refill systems in different sectors, such as consumer packaging, personal care products, and wholesale shipping of retail goods.
Reusable packaging is a proven solution in the fight against the plastic problem, and it has the lowest carbon footprint of any packaging option.
We would love to get 150 organizations from around the country signing on. It’s easy to add your support in this Congress by filling out this form by October 13, 2025, midnight Pacific. (Note: Please only sign on if you are an organization based in, or that operates in, the U.S.). A current list of signatories is listed in the letter. Feel free to share this announcement with others.
Please reach out to me with any questions. An individual sign-on option is also available.
Thanks!
Kelley
