AHAM is seeking improvements to #EPCA to preserve consumer access to appliances with the features, performance, and affordability families expect. While home appliances are a success story in efficiency, future tightening of standards under current technologies risks sacrificing consumer choice without delivering meaningful savings. https://t.co/KiH4dHtKoK
Clothes washers of average efficiency can save a household more than 5,000 gallons of water and more than $150 in utility costs compared to a 10-year-old washer. #EarthDay
A strong, federally managed #ENERGYSTAR program provides families with a trusted and comprehensive suite of savings while supporting innovation and efficiency across the appliance industry. https://t.co/Xdkaj1HY92
As manufacturers of consumer appliances, critical grid infrastructure, and advanced commercial and industrial equipment, we commend lawmakers for efforts to make changes to the outdated Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) with a common-sense approach that better aligns with modern market realities. https://t.co/t2ebANia6r
Today, @HouseGOP will pass the Home Appliance Protection and Affordability Act.
We are advancing commonsense legislation that:
💵 Lowers the costs of home ownership
✅ Increases access to a variety of appliances
📄 Puts an end to excessive regulations of home appliances
Several states and Canadian provinces have implemented extended producer responsibility (EPR) policies, making manufacturers responsible for the cost of #recycling packaging materials. Home appliance manufacturers support EPR programs that are sensible, practical and focused on real environmental impact.
