The National Retail Federation (NRF), the world's largest retail trade association, is pleased to share our comments on the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) Draft National Strategy to Prevent Plastic Pollution. Retailers support EPA's goal to reduce plastic pollution while simultaneously addressing environmental justice inequities. This EPA goal reflects the desires of the retail industry, the consumers we serve, our investors and our suppliers. Retailers' roles in multiple value chains provide our industry with tremendous insights into the emerging challenges and opportunities as the world builds a more circular economy that addresses the needs of every community. Our full comments are attached.

Abstract

The Draft National Strategy to Prevent Plastic Pollution, which is part of EPA’s Series on Building a Circular Economy for All, provides voluntary actions that can be implemented in the United States aimed at eliminating the release of plastic waste from land-based sources into the environment by 2040. EPA endeavors to provide an innovative, equitable approach to reduce and recover plastic and other waste, as well as prevent plastic pollution from harming human health and the environment, particularly for communities already overburdened by pollution. Plastic pollution has accumulated over time and will continue to grow as plastic production increases. Therefore, the Draft National Strategy to Prevent Plastic Pollution, together with EPA’s National Recycling Strategy, identifies how EPA can work collaboratively with stakeholders to prevent plastic pollution and reduce, reuse, recycle, collect, and capture plastic and other waste from land-based sources.
