Plastic Pellet Free Waters Act

Summary

The bill orders the EPA Administrator to issue a rule within 60 days that prohibits any release of plastic pellets or other pre‑production plastic material from manufacturing, molding, packaging, or transport facilities into waterways. It applies to facilities already regulated under specific EPA wastewater rules and to any point source that handles these materials. The goal is to stop pellet pollution that contributes to microplastic contamination in rivers, lakes, and oceans.
