Bill overview
California Assembly Bill 1149 aims to support the state's recycling market by providing financial incentives to companies that process and utilize recycled plastic. Specifically, it extends the ability of the Department of Resources to pay ‘market development payments’ to reclaimers (companies that process plastic bottles) and product manufacturers who use recycled plastic in their products. The bill focuses on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic, authorizing a specific payment level of up to $300 per ton for California reclaimers of PET bottles that are collected, washed, and processed within the state.
