California recycling initiative wants your input

摘要

In 2019, California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed into law The California Recycling Market Development Act by Assembly-member Susan Eggman (AB 1583). The legislation in part requires the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) to convene a Statewide Commission on Recycling Markets and Curbside Recycling consisting of representatives of public agencies, private solid waste enterprises and environmental organizations that have expertise in recycling. The work of this group has repercussions for U.S. recycling in general, and stakeholders have an opportunity to add their voices. You might ask why this California commission is important to the nation. It's important because California is 12% of the U.S. market and, as is often said, as California goes, so goes the nation.
