SB 1383 Regulations, Short-Lived Climate Pollutants: Organic Waste Methane Emission Reduction

CalRecycle, in consultation with California Air Resources Board (CARB), is charged with developing regulations to reduce statewide disposal of organic waste from the 2014 levels by 50 percent by 2020 and 75 percent by 2025. In addition, at least 20 percent of the edible food in the organic waste stream must be recovered for human consumption by 2025. Materials that cannot be effectively recovered would be diverted to organics recycling facilities to make useful products, including compost, fertilizer, fuel, or energy. These facilities may be developed at existing landfills, other waste management sites, or at new stand-alone sites.
