The proposal would change federal waste laws to exclude certain recovered materials and resources from being classified as solid waste, which could affect how recycling companies, manufacturers, and waste management facilities operate and are regulated. By redefining what counts as waste, the bill could make it easier for businesses to reuse or resell materials without following the same strict disposal rules that currently apply to traditional garbage.
