PACK Act To Establish Consistent National Packaging Labeling The Packaging and Claims Knowledge (PACK) Act, which would establish consistent national standards for recycla- ble, compostable, and reusable claims on consumer pack- aging, was introduced in Congress in December 2025. The bill aims for greater clarity for consumers and a more predictable regulatory framework for businesses. “For years, organizations have navigated an increas- ingly complex patchwork of state laws governing recy- clable, compostable, and reusable claims on packaging. As Congress considers legislation that would establish a consistent national framework, organizations across the packaging value chain have an important opportunity to help shape the conversation,” says Lynn Dyer, President, AMERIPEN. “With growing bipartisan support and a broad coa- lition representing the packaging value chain, the legis- lation continues to gain momentum in Congress. With its first hearing anticipated in the coming weeks before the House Subcommittee on Commerce, Manufacturing, and Trade, now is an important time for organizations across the industry to become familiar with the legislation and en- gage in the conversation,” continues Dyer. “Consumers rely on packaging to make informed de- cisions. Yet today, organizations are navigating a growing
patchwork of state-specific labeling requirements that can create confusion for consumers and complexity for busi- nesses operating nationwide.” She adds, “The PACK Act would establish a single na- tional framework for recyclable, compostable, and reus- able claims, helping ensure consumers receive consistent information regardless of where they live while providing businesses with greater regulatory certainty. This isn’t simply a labeling issue. It’s about creating a practical ap- proach that supports transparency, consumer confidence, and consistency across state lines.” Every organization that designs, manufactures, fills, transports, sells, or uses packaging has a stake in the outcome of this legislation. Consistent national standards can: Provide consumers with clear, accurate, and consis- tent information; reduce the complexity created by differ- ing state labeling requirements; create greater regulatory certainty for businesses operating across multiple states; and support innovation through a more predictable policy environment. Dyer says, “As Congress continues evaluating the PACK Act, lawmakers need to hear directly from the or- ganizations responsible for implementing it. Real-world perspectives from manufacturers, brands, material suppli- ers, retailers, and others across the packaging value chain help policymakers understand how consistent national standards can benefit businesses, consumers, and the broader economy.”
