The Truth in Labeling Act of 2026 establishes national standards for labeling materials as recyclable, compostable, reusable, or refillable.

The Truth in Labeling Act of 2026 aims to create national standards for labeling materials as recyclable, compostable, reusable, or refillable. It mandates that producers cannot claim a material is recyclable, compostable, reusable, or refillable unless it meets specific criteria. The Act requires the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to establish standardized on-package labels for these materials and to publish a list of materials meeting the criteria every two years. It also sets up an advisory committee to provide advice on label standards and public engagement.
