Bill overview
This bill aims to reduce plastic pellet pollution in U.S. waterways by requiring the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to establish limits on the discharge of plastic pellets and other pre-production plastic materials. The EPA will need to update existing wastewater permits and performance standards to specifically address this type of pollution. The goal is to prevent these pellets from entering rivers, lakes, and oceans, protecting aquatic ecosystems and potentially human health.
