SREA Reasonable Care Compliance Program
The Superfund Recycling Equity Act (SREA) was passed into law on November 29, 1999 following six years of intense lobbying and grassroots activity by ReMA and its members. ReMA offers the SREA Reasonable Care Compliance Program to assist recyclers with the defense of a Superfund liability claim.
About the Program
The Superfund Recycling Equity Act (SREA) Reasonable Care Compliance Program saves both time and money by helping recyclable materials processors and brokers perform, with ‘reasonable care,’ due diligence on a recyclable-consuming facility’s environmental compliance record as required by federal law to help provide a valid defense against a Superfund liability claim. Taking advantage of ReMA’s SREA Reasonable Care Compliance Program spares the time of having to dig through complicated regulations and environmental compliance records before determining whether or not to ship to a customer. Participation in this program gives you a competitive advantage over other recyclable materials processors and brokers.
