This legislation, titled the REUSE Act of 2026, directs the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to prepare and publicly release a comprehensive report within two years of its enactment. The report's primary focus is to evaluate the feasibility and best practices related to reuse and refill systems for products and beverage containers across diverse sectors, such as food service, consumer goods, and transportation. The bill defines a "reuse and refill system" as mechanisms for refillable or reusable products, supported by adequate infrastructure enabling repeated recovery, inspection, and reissuance by producers, and convenient reuse by consumers. The EPA's report must include an evaluation of various system types suitable for different scales, methods for ensuring equitable distribution , and potential job creation opportunities through these systems. Furthermore, the report is required to analyze the economic costs and benefits for businesses deploying these technologies and for parties involved in waste collection and management. It will also identify the types of local, State, and Federal support necessary to expand the use of reuse and refill systems, alongside existing barriers to their widespread implementation. In preparing this report, the Administrator must consider relevant information from existing programs in other jurisdictions and consult with key stakeholders.
