RPCC Supports Environmental Tax Cut Proposed for Farmers, Retailers
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10 -/E-Wire/-- The Reusable Pallet and Container
Coalition (RPCC), a trade association of companies in the reusable
packaging industry, has announced its strong support for the
environmental tax incentive bill to promote business conversion from
disposable pallets and cardboard boxes to reusable pallets and plastic
containers introduced by Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) and Rep. Bob
Matsui (D-CA) on July 20. The bill, HR 4916 or the Landfill Reduction
Act of 2000, allows farmers, retailers, manufacturers and poolers of
reusable plastic or wooden pallets and plastic containers to write-off
the cost of capital investments to convert to these environmentally-
superior products.
