 The latest report from the Ocean Conservancy, *Recommendations for
Recycled Content: Requirements for Plastic Goods and Packaging*, makes the
case for recycled content standards at the national level for plastic
products and packaging within the US. The report, prepared through a
collaboration with RRS, reviews the current plastic recycling landscape and
evaluates several policy scenarios and their implications.

 The study highlights the importance of pursuing supply-side policies, such
as extended producer responsibility and beverage container deposits, in
concert with demand side policy, like minimum recycled content standards.
It provides an overview of the various policies that require minimum
post-consumer recycled content levels, as well as recommendations for
minimum post-consumer recycled content levels in federal policy.

 The study is available for free download on the Ocean Conservancy
