The Northeast Recycling Council (NERC) has published a 2026 policy guide comparing sustainable materials management regulations across 11 Northeastern US states, highlighting product stewardship programs, mandatory recycling laws, and emerging gaps in managing clean-energy waste streams such as EV batteries and solar panels.
