The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6259, aims to establish a recycling market development action plan within the state's general statutes. This initiative is designed to tackle the issue of unsorted waste, with the goal of diverting it from landfills, thereby reducing municipal costs and the need to ship waste out of state. The bill also emphasizes the exploration of new processes and innovative methods for converting waste into usable products.
The bill does not contain any specific deletions from current law but introduces new legal language to create a structured approach to recycling market development. By implementing this action plan, the state seeks to enhance its waste management strategies and promote sustainability through improved recycling practices.
