PCPC Statement on the Packaging and Claims Knowledge Act of 2025 (PACK Act) Introduction in the U.S. House of Representatives

Washington, D.C.-The Personal Care Products Council released the following statement from President and CEO Thomas F. Myers on the Packaging and Claims Knowledge Act of 2025 (PACK Act) introduction in the U.S. House of Representatives. If enacted, the bill would amend the Federal Trade Commission Act to regulate environmental claims on consumer product packaging.

"We applaud Representative Randy Weber (R-TX) for introducing the Packaging and Claims Knowledge Act of 2025 to ensure truthful, transparent environmental claims for packaging. By establishing a national framework for recycling claims, the PACK Act promotes effective, sustainable solutions for packaging waste. Harmonizing core definitions, particularly around recyclability, is critical for cosmetics and personal care product companies to avoid a patchwork of state policies that fragment supply chains, increase compliance burdens and hinder the success of recycling programs."
