The Recycling Refund and Litter Reduction Amendment Act of 2025 amends the Sustainable Solid Waste Management Amendment Act of 2014 to create an extended producer responsibility program for beverage containers. The Department of Energy and Environment (DOEE) will oversee the program, which includes establishing a beverage container stewardship organization to manage the collection and recycling of beverage containers. Distributors must place a deposit on beverage containers sold in the District, with the deposit increasing if redemption targets are not met.
