Navigating US politics and its impact on the industry with ReMA's Kristen Hildreth | Born Scrappy | Season 3 | Episode 12

In this episode, I chat to Kristen Hildreth , AVP of Government Relations and Strategic Partnerships at Recycled Materials Association (ReMA) .

Drawing on her extensive policy expertise from the National Conference of State Legislatures, Kristen provides a front-row perspective on the expected impact of the newly elected Trump administration on the metal recycling industry.

This is a two-part series, with the focus of this week's episode on how these changes could affect the US domestic market.

In today's episode, we talk about the implications of the recent US election results, particularly the re-election of Donald Trump and his new cabinet appointments, for the recycled materials industry. Kristen outlines the potential changes in federal policies, deregulation efforts, and shifts in funding for climate initiatives. The discussion also covers state elections, impacts on business operations and workforce policies, and possible legislative actions during the lame-duck session.
