On December 18, 2025, in the United States, the American Cleaning Institute (ACI) issued a statement commending the introduction of the Packaging and Claims Knowledge (PACK) Act in the U.S. House of Representatives by Congressman. ACI highlighted that the proposed legislation seeks to establish a national framework for regulating recycling, reuse, and composting claims on product packaging, addressing challenges created by varying state-level labeling requirements. According to ACI, inconsistent labeling rules can increase compliance burdens for manufacturers and lead to consumer confusion. The Institute emphasized that codifying a clear, nationwide standard—building on principles outlined in the Federal Trade Commission’s Green Guides would support effective recycling initiatives, promote environmental transparency, and enable consumers to make more informed and sustainable choices, particularly for cleaning products.
