The bill mandates the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to develop a comprehensive waste reduction and recycling plan for Florida by July 1, 2026. This plan will be based on recommendations from the department's previous reports, specifically the "Florida and the 2020 75% Recycling Goal, Final Report." To assist in the development of this plan, the DEP is required to create and convene a technical assistance group. The comprehensive plan must include specific recycling goals, a three-year implementation strategy focusing on recycling education, local government assistance, and market development for recyclable materials.

Upon completion of the plan, the DEP is tasked with submitting a report to the Legislature, detailing recommendations for any necessary statutory changes to meet the identified recycling goals and strategies. The bill emphasizes the importance of sustainable materials management and aims to enhance recycling efforts across the state. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
