Extends federal programs that fight plastic pollution in oceans until 2030.

This bill would extend the permission for certain Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) programs that work to clean up plastic waste in our oceans and waterways. These programs, which were set to expire in 2025, would now be allowed to continue until 2030. This means ongoing efforts to reduce marine debris would receive continued support.

What Would Change

Today, certain Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) programs that fight plastic waste in oceans are authorized to operate until 2025. If this bill becomes law, these programs would be allowed to continue their work for an additional five years, extending their authorization until 2030.
