The Organization: Who We Are

WHO IS NSAC?

Formed in 2015, the National Stewardship Action Council (NSAC) is a 501(c)4 non-profit that advocates for the United States to attain a responsible, circular economy anywhere in the U.S., and at any level of government. The leaders that make up NSAC’s outstanding Board and staff have a proven record of passing cutting-edge policy and implementing programs to find practical and affordable solutions for problematic material streams. They are called upon regularly to provide testimony to legislatures and state agencies, as well as often being quoted in the press.

 

NSAC offers consulting services to state and local governments, corporations, and other organizations to identify solutions to materials management issues for products. These include packaging, pharmaceuticals and sharps, carpet, mattresses, textiles, vaping and cannabis waste, paint, organics, and much more.

Over the years, NSAC has emerged as the leading force in advancing an equitable, circular economy in the United States. Our intersectional approach to environmental issues has been instrumental in addressing environmental inequality and ensuring that our policies and initiatives are inclusive and fair. Our commitment to reducing waste and pollution, keeping materials in motion, and regenerating natural systems has driven achievement of the world’s first circular economy legislation for packaging. Looking ahead, we are more committed than ever to building a sustainable future for all.

 

THE BIRTH OF NSAC
