Mandatory Organics Recycling
Senate Bill 1383, also known as the Short-Lived Climate Pollutant Reduction Strategy, is a California law that tackles climate change by focusing on waste reduction. Here's a breakdown of its key goals:
- Reduce Organic Waste Disposal: SB 1383 sets ambitious targets to divert organic waste from landfills. This includes food scraps and yard trimmings that can be composted instead.
- Recover Edible Food: The bill encourages the recovery of edible food that would otherwise be wasted, ensuring it reaches those in need.
- Combat Climate Change: By reducing organic waste in landfills, SB 1383 helps fight climate change by minimizing methane emissions from decomposition.
