The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6259, aims to establish a recycling market development action plan in order to tackle the issue of unsorted waste in the state. The bill seeks to divert this waste from landfills, thereby reducing municipal costs and the need to ship waste out of state. Additionally, it emphasizes the exploration of new processes and innovative methods for converting waste into usable products.
The bill introduces new legal language to amend the general statutes, specifically focusing on the development of strategies to manage unsorted waste effectively. There are no deletions from current law mentioned in the text, indicating a fresh approach to addressing waste management challenges without removing existing provisions. The overall goal is to enhance recycling efforts and promote sustainability within the state.
