Actividades realizadas o en vías de realización The California recycling bills (Assembly Bill
341 and 323) require big private and public
businesses and multi-family residential
places to arrange for recycling services
when they generate more than four cubic
yards of commercial solid waste per week.
This law came into force in July 2012 and
aims to reduce GHG emissions by diverting
commercial organic waste from landfills
and meet the target of 75 percent
solid waste diversion by 2020. Furthermore,
in February 2013, the government
introduced a package of policies supporting
the development of composting and
anaerobic digestion facilities, identifying
in them “a cost-effective technology for
reducing greenhouse gas emissions.”
