Understanding the Dissolution Process and the Role of Recycled Content in the Circular Economy
On August 26, 2026 the Stewardship Action Foundation (SAF) and National Stewardship Action Council (NSAC) hosted a public webinar with Rumpke, PureCycle and IPL Schoeller exploring how the dissolution process fits within the circular economy and how recycled feedstock moves from collection to recycled pellets to new products and packaging.
The conversation traced the journey of recycled feedstock from collection and material recovery through the dissolution process, traceability, recycled content verification and manufacturing, while examining the role these systems can play in supporting domestic end markets and advancing circularity.

Continue the Conversation Through Membership & National Working Groups
Public webinars like this are one way the Stewardship Action Foundation brings people together around emerging circular economy issues. For NSAC Members, those conversations continue throughout the year through members-only webinars and monthly working groups.
Our national working groups create space for members to share challenges and opportunities, hear near real-time updates, learn from others working across the system and explore practical ways to move the circular economy forward.
Current working groups include:
Packaging and EPR Implementation
Textile Circularity
Deposit Return Systems
Household Hazardous Waste and Products
Illegal Single-Use Ink Toner Cartridges
If your organization is navigating these issues, we’d welcome a conversation about the challenges and opportunities you’re seeing and how membership can advance both the circular economy and your organization’s goals. Reach out to Heath Nettles at heath@nsaction.us to learn more.
