An NSAC & SAF Members-Only Strategy Session

July 10, 2025 | Noon CT

In a state where environmental legislation is often hard-won, Texas House Bill 2048 made history this year.

The Beverage Container Recycling Refund Program earned impressive bipartisan support, widespread business and environmental backing, and was officially placed on the General State Calendar—ready for a vote by the full House. While time ran out before that vote could take place, HB 2048 progressed further than ever before.

Now, NSAC invites our members to go beyond the headlines and into the strategy room.

Our exclusive deep dive will unpack the legislative journey of HB 2048, the coalition that powered it, and what it will take to cross the finish line in 2027. If your organization wants to lead on circular economy policy, this is where it starts.
