SB 1383 is a statewide effort to reduce emissions of short-lived climate pollutants (SLCP). Specifically, the law sets the following targets:
Reduce statewide disposal of organic waste by 50% by January 1, 2020 (based on 2014 levels).
Reduce statewide disposal of organic waste by 75% by January 1, 2025 (based on 2014 levels).
Recover a minimum of 20% edible food safe for human consumption, which is currently being disposed of, by 2025.
CalRecycle is the state agency responsible for creating the regulatory standards for SB 1383:
Effective January 1, 2022: CalRecycle’s regulations to meet statewide organics reduction and food recovery requirements take effect. Enforcement provisions, including penalties for non-compliance issued by the state, also take effect.
Effective January 1, 2024: Regulations may require local jurisdictions to impose penalties for non-compliance on regulated entities subject to their authority.
