This Earth Day, reducing plastic waste starts with getting the system right. Today, a mix of state requirements and outdated federal guidance is making recycled content claims harder to trust and harder to scale—holding back progress on keeping materials in circulation and out of landfills. Clear, consistent national standards can help change that. Read more on how we can strengthen recycling and reduce plastic waste: consumerbrandsassociation.org/blog/earth-day…

Global instability is putting pressure on supply chains—and that pressure shows up in the prices Americans see every day at the grocery store. While most ingredients are sourced domestically, today’s complex, interconnected supply chains mean global disruptions can still impact affordability at home. That’s why policy choices matter. A fragmented, state-by-state approach to ingredient regulations could increase grocery costs by up to 12% for the average household. A national, uniform standard would help reduce complexity, support transparency and keep costs down. Read more: washingtonexaminer.com/op-eds/4530142…

This Tax Day, it’s important to remember that a national ingredient transparency standard is essential to preventing a significant tax hike on the American people. With affordability top of mind for many Americans, Consumer Brands is working on real policy solutions that will help keep grocery prices affordable. National uniformity for ingredient safety and transparency will prevent a looming 12% tax increase on groceries caused by a state-by-state patchwork of ingredient regulations. Affordability matters. Not just once a year, but every time consumers shop, plan and budget.

For America’s trusted household brands, choice and transparency go hand in hand. For decades, the CPG industry has championed voluntary initiatives like Smart Label and Facts Up Front, and introduced new tools like Food Processing Facts and Truth About Ingredients – all designed to give Americans clear, accessible information about the products they rely on everyday. Last year, we launched our first-ever National Consumer Transparency Week to spotlight this commitment and keep transparency front and center. See how we’re advancing transparency today and every day: consumerbrandsassociation.org/consumer-trans…

The American people lead busy, demanding lives, and they rely on affordable, convenient and safe products they can trust. That’s what the CPG industry delivers. In stores and online, families can find the food, beverage and household items they need at the price points that work for them.
