What is California State Law SB 1383?

Do you know California State Law SB 1383 mandates organic waste recycling?

The new super pollutant reduction strategy rules for organic recycling and edible food recovery are part of California’s bold effort to fast-track climate progress by reducing the most potent climate super pollutants like landfill methane emissions. SB 1383 is expected to be as impactful as taking nearly two million cars off the road for one year.

Food, fiber, wood and other organic waste make up the largest material types landfulled every year.

When organic waste material decomposes, it emits methane, a short-lived climate super pollutant 84 times more potent than carbon dioxide and major contributor to climate change.
