1. California’s Direction: 75% Source Reduction, Recycling and Composting Goal UVWMA Board Meeting November 16, 2015

2. Policy Drivers AB 939 - 50% diversion requirement for jurisdictions AB 341 - 75% reduction, statewide goal by 2020  Does not include transformation or disposal-related activities AB 32 - Reduce GHGs to < 1990 levels  ARB Scoping Plan – Waste Sector 2

3. 3 Where Are We Now?

4. Projected 2020 tonnages to reach 75% recycling 4

5. How to Reach 75% Goal  Moving > 20 million tons/year out of landfills  1/3 of current waste stream is organic  Need more infrastructure, new or expanded 5

6. AB 341 Interim Report  Move organics out of landfills  Beverage Container Recycling Program reform  Expand recycling manufacturing infrastructure  New models for state and local funding  Extended Producer Responsibility  Increase state procurement  Report is published: http://www.calrecycle.ca.gov/Publications/Do cuments/1538/20151538.pdf http://www.calrecycle.ca.gov/Publications/Do cuments/1538/20151538.pdf 6

7. Why Organics?  ~30% of total disposal is compostable/digestible  No way to achieve 75% goal without it  Scoping Plan identifies organics as key component to help meet GHG goals 7

8. Recent Legislation  AB 1826 – mandatory commercial organics recycling  AB 1594 – organics can no longer be considered diversion when applied as ADC  AB 876 – reporting of forcasted organics generation  AB 1045 – CalEPA and other agencies to develop policy that coordinates permitting and regulation of composting facilities  AB 901 – requires recycling and composting facilities to report directly to CalRecycle
