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, reducing municipal costs, and minimizing 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 deletions from current law but introduces new legal language to create the framework for the recycling market development action plan. The overarching purpose of this legislation is to effectively manage unsorted waste in the state, thereby promoting sustainability and efficiency in waste management practices.
