Holding Ourselves Accountable

AFPM’s Carbon Policy Working Group and Plastic Policy Working Group actively evaluate and pursue policies based on member-driven principles to address the challenges of climate change and the mismanagement of plastic waste. Working with these groups, AFPM has advocated for the EPA to recognize the potential of renewable diesel and not limit its use under the RFS, supported the deployment of incentives for emerging technologies like carbon capture, utilization and sequestration and hydrogen production, championed federal legislation to spur innovation and collaboration to keep plastic waste out of the environment, among others. And, as an accredited stakeholder with the United Nations (UN) Environmental Program, we are continuing to advocate for policies that enable industry innovation and global investment in plastics circularity through the development of the UN agreement on global plastic pollution.
