Circular Action Alliance Oregon submitted its program plan amendment focused on Responsible End Markets (REMs) to the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). This submission is an important step toward building a recycling system that minimizes the impacts to the environment and human health while supporting a stable and efficient circular economy for years to come. Once approved, this amendment will improve the REM verification process in Oregon by giving every end market a practical way to meet the Recycling Modernization Act (RMA) requirements.
