In this statement, Matt Seaholm, the president and CEO of the Plastics Industry Association, said the Biden-Harris administra- tion's decision "turned its back" on residents whose livelihoods depend on the industry. "The plastic industry is the sev- enth-largest manufacturing indus- try in the United States and employs 1 million people. With this deci- sion, the White House has turned its back on Americans whose live- lihoods depend on our industry, as well as on manufacturers in all sectors that rely on plastic materi - als," he said. "The White House’s misguided reversal in support of plastic production caps is not only impractical, but directly harmful to all U.S. manufacturers and will get us no closer to reaching our shared environmental goals."
