California \u2013 Inter-Agency Cooperation<\/a><\/h3>\r\n
As of 2018, the state of California reported a 65 percent diversion rate for all materials and more than 140,000 green jobs in its recycling sector. This success is attributable to California's 1989 Integrated Waste Management Act and the state's more recent\u00a0efforts to increase organics recycling through the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle), a state agency that coordinates the state's multiple waste and recycling management programs.\u2026 Leer m\u00e1s<\/a><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

In order to address the 15 million tons of compostable organics still being landfilled, in 2014 the state legislature passed Assembly Bill (AB) 1826 for mandatory\u00a0commercial organics recycling, as well as four other recycling bills in 2015. These laws sought to further increase the state\u2019s organic waste diversion infrastructure by both incentivizing businesses and mandating state agencies to create mutually shared regulations and goals for organic waste recycling. \u2026 Leer m\u00e1s<\/a><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
