CHARM Act
The CHARM Act aims to establish a National Critical Mineral Recovery Strategy to coordinate federal efforts in recovering critical minerals from discarded materials. It mandates the EPA Administrator to develop this strategy in consultation with other federal agencies and requires biennial reporting to Congress. The bill outlines specific goals for identifying and expanding recovery opportunities while minimizing environmental risks.
