Recycling and waste industry groups express concern over President Trump’s proposed tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico, and China, fearing disruptions to recycled commodity markets and increased operational costs. These tariffs, which include a 25% levy on goods from Canada and Mexico and a 10% tariff on Chinese imports, could escalate into a trade war, impacting job creation and the economy. Industry leaders argue that the tariffs may hinder investment, raise consumer prices, and threaten the competitiveness of the recycling sector, especially given the significant trade volume of recycled materials between the U.S. and its neighbors.
