H. R. 300: This Act may be cited as the Recyclable Materials Technology and Markets Development Act, introduced in the House of Representatives, One Hundred Second Congress, First Session, January 3, 1991
Solid waste disposal is becoming increasingly impractical because of concerns about environmental contamination, escalating fees, the closing of disposal facilities, and difficulties in siting new facilities. Recycling offers an environmentally safe approach to the garbage crisis as well as benefits to manufacturers in reduced material costs, energy usage, and environmental impacts. H.R.300 was introduced into the US House of Representatives on January 3, 1991 to encourage recycling and composting by promoting the creation of markets for postconsumer materials. This is to be accomplished by establishing a grant program for recycling research and by requiring a public outreach program to provide information about recycling.
