CANS Act of 2026
Aluminum Recycling: National Study on Waste and Supply
The CANS Act of 2026 is currently in the early stages of the legislative process. It was recently introduced and sent to the House Committee on Natural Resources for review. There are no upcoming votes scheduled at this time.
Legislative Progress
This bill is in the very early stages and only requests a study. Most standalone bills like this struggle to get a full vote unless they are added to a larger piece of legislation.
Key Points
- This bill tells the Department of the Interior to study how much aluminum is thrown into landfills. Every three years, the government will release a report showing where this metal comes from and how much is being wasted.
- The study will track aluminum scrap that is sent to other countries. It specifically looks at whether we are sending too much metal to foreign nations that could be used to build things here in America instead.
- Experts will look for new ways to improve how we sort and collect recycled metal. The goal is to create policies that keep aluminum in the U.S. supply chain to help local manufacturers and reduce our need to buy metal from overseas.
