Paper recycling is successful all year round. Every day in America, about 125,000 tons of paper is recycled! U.S. paper mills want to keep this valuable material in use to create new essential products. Paper recycling powers U.S. manufacturing.

A latte good news: paper cups are now accepted for recycling in Massachusetts! Remove the lid, recycle the empty cup. Strong paper recycling drives American manufacturing.

The price of America’s broken permitting system on manufacturers? Nearly $8 billion a year. That price is too high for the American people. @RepWesterman’s #SPEEDAct will cut red tape, lower costs and get America building again.

Manufacturers strongly supported House passage of @RepWesterman and @RepGolden's bipartisan SPEED Act. With permitting delays costing manufacturers $7.9+ billion every year, it's time for Congress to pass comprehensive permitting reform. @NatResources

AF&PA members are constantly innovating their manufacturing processes to advance American manufacturing. At @SappiNA’s Cloquet Mill, they implemented an innovative process that improves the quality and decreases the total amount of wastewater while saving costs.

Manufacturers are investing across America, but permitting roadblocks are holding projects back. It takes the U.S. up to 80% longer than our peer nations to move projects forward. Manufacturers want ribbon cuttings, not red tape—that means modernizing our laws to streamline regulations and eliminate duplicative reviews and a regulatory regime to support timely permitting and give manufacturers the certainty to invest, build and create jobs.

As first shared by @axios, a new report released today by the NAM and @JoinFAI shows our broken permitting system is costing manufacturers in America $7.9 billion each year—underscoring the urgent need for bipartisan, comprehensive permitting reform to strengthen America’s economic and national security.
