Bill overview
This bill aims to boost the use of recycled glass in California by providing financial incentives to glass beverage container manufacturers who purchase recycled glass for new production. It authorizes the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery to pay ‘market development payments’ to these manufacturers, up to $150 per ton, to encourage in-state glass production and a circular economy. The bill also outlines how funds from the Beverage Container Recycling Fund will be allocated to support curbside recycling programs, litter cleanup, public education, and glass processing facilities, with specific funding levels and timelines established.
