The&nbsp;Plastic Pollution and Recycling Modernization Act (RMA)&nbsp;is changing the way recycling is handled. Maine, California, Colorado, and Minnesota are also changing up their recycling practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enter\u00a0our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bulletinbag.com\/custom-recycling-bin-bag.html\">Custom Recycling Bin Bags<\/a>.\u00a0Designed to educate users and corral household recycling, these bags are produced in bulk in any size, with vibrant full color printing on all exterior surfaces. They feature a wipe-clean surface and a bottom handle to make it easier to lift and empty the contents. We have been offering these bags for several years, but in 2026 they are hotter than ever. Here\u2019s why:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>1. Under Oregon\u2019s updated guidelines, plastic bags and &#8220;filmy&#8221; plastics are officially designated as&nbsp;&#8220;tanglers,\u201d because they are the leading cause of machinery jams at sorting facilities. This means that you can no longer bag recyclables in single-use plastic liners and toss them into a curbside cart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bulletinbag.com\/custom-recycling-bin-bag.html\">custom recycling bin bags<\/a> are designed to be a a recycling &#8220;taxi.&#8221; Collect clean jugs, jars, and other recyclables in the bag, carry it to your outdoor cart, and dump them in. Because they\u2019re made of\u00a0woven polypropylene or rPET that\u2019s laminated, they stay upright and open, acting more like a flexible bin than a floppy bag.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>2. Anyone who has tried to dump a heavy bag of glass bottles into a tall outdoor bin knows the struggle: the bag slips, or you can\u2019t get a good grip on the bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>These custom bags feature a\u00a0reinforced handle on the bottom. This allows you to maintain control while inverting the bag, ensuring your recyclables go into the cart\u2014not all over your driveway.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>3. Oregon is implementing a\u00a0Uniform Statewide Collection List. This means whether you\u2019re in Portland, Bend, or Eugene, the rules for what is &#8220;in&#8221; will finally be the same. Since these bags are fully customizable, many Oregon municipalities and businesses are designing their bags with images of what can and cannot be recycled to create a handy cheat sheet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Oregon\u2019s new rules emphasize that containers must be\u00a0&#8220;empty, clean, and dry.&#8221;\u00a0If a stray drop of milk or soda escapes, the laminated surface of this bag can be wiped clean.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of these new recycling laws are all about&nbsp;Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR)\u2014holding manufacturers accountable for the waste they create. By distributing custom recycling bin bags, you\u2019re doing your part to ensure that recycled items actually make it through the sorting facility and back into the supply chain.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you a business owner, property manager, or public works employee?
