Rep. Joyce Urges CHARM and BRACE Acts to Recover Critical Minerals from US Waste
The Forbes clip shows Rep. John Joyce (R-PA) during a June 2026 House Energy and Commerce Environment Subcommittee hearing titled 'Trash to Treasure.' He questions witnesses on two draft bills aimed at recovering critical minerals from industrial waste and spent batteries rather than exporting them for processing. Witnesses from DISA and a battery recycler discuss regulatory barriers, uranium tailings, and the need for EPA coordination. The segment covers the CHARM Act's national recovery strategy and the BRACE Act's permitting reforms for lithium-ion batteries.
