Cities across California are struggling with sweeping changing to organic waste management introduced by new legislation.
SB1383 mandated a 50% reduction in organic waste by 2020 going from 2014 levels as well as a 75% reduction in organic waste by 2025. The law seeks to enforce the recovery of enough food to generate 1,8 billion meals for donation. Upon implementation, SB1383 is supposed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 4,4 million each year by 2030.
This law is to come into effect in 2022, as of January 1.
