Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
H.Res. 885 is a symbolic resolution supporting the designation of November 15, 2025, as "America Recycles Day" to promote awareness about recycling and the circular economy. The resolution celebrates the recycling industry's significant economic contributions—worth over $168 billion annually and supporting more than 500,000 jobs across the country—while highlighting its role in environmental sustainability, national security through critical materials recovery, and strengthening domestic manufacturing. The resolution does not establish new programs or allocate federal funding; instead, it expresses congressional support for the designated day and encourages all Americans to reduce, reuse, and recycle. Submitted by a bipartisan group of representatives, the resolution recognizes the need for continued investment and improvement in recycling infrastructure and access, particularly to close gaps for underserved communities.
