听The National Stewardship Action Council (NSAC) and the Stewardship Action Foundation (SAF) announced the launch of the ReMade in America Pledge, a nationwide call for companies, policymakers, organizations, and individuals to strengthen U.S. recycling markets and circular supply chains by reinvesting in what鈥檚 already working. Recycling works when America鈥檚 hard work is respected and honored, and when trust in a functioning system inspires the public to continue to recycle the right things the right way. Across the country, essential workers capture and process high-quality materials that are ready to be remade into new products and packaging. Yet recycling only succeeds when those valuable materials have robust domestic end markets鈥攚hen companies choose U.S.-made recycled content and invest in remaking what we collect here at home.听
鈥淭he people who make recycling possible, our essential workers, deserve a system that honors their hard work and commitment, showing up through pandemics, wind, rain, ice, and snow,鈥� said Heidi Sanborn, Executive Director/CEO of the National Stewardship Action Council and the Stewardship Action Foundation. 鈥淐ommunities and consumers are doing their part. Now we must strengthen the U.S. end markets that ensure what we capture and process is remade into new American products.鈥�听
Through the ReMade in America Pledge, NSAC and SAF invite companies, policymakers, organizations, and individuals to join a unified effort to strengthen what鈥檚 already working. a recycling system that remakes what鈥檚 captured and processed domestically into new American products that stay in circulation.听
鈥淭his pledge is about progress through partnership,鈥� said Heath Nettles, Deputy Director of NSAC and SAF. 鈥淲e encourage everyone including companies, governments, nonprofits, and individuals to do their part. Together, we can support U.S. recyclers and manufacturers who are proving that what鈥檚 made in America can be remade in America.鈥�听
The ReMade in America Pledge reflects NSAC and SAF鈥檚 commitment to advancing a circular economy in the United States鈥攐ne that turns waste into a valuable resource while unlocking the economic, environmental, and public health benefits of recycling and circularity.听
