Bill Summary
General Description: This bill relates to the recycling of glass.
AI Summary
This bill establishes a comprehensive statewide study of glass recycling to be conducted by Utah's Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control by September 2025. The bill first defines key terms such as "glass cullet" (broken or crushed glass suitable for reuse), "material recovery facility" (a facility that sorts recyclable materials), and "single-stream recycling" (collection of recyclable materials by a public entity). The study will comprehensively examine current glass recycling methods, identify areas in the state that could benefit from increased glass recycling, and develop strategies to improve glass recycling rates. These strategies include increasing the number of glass recycling drop-off locations, expanding funding for material recovery facilities, expanding curbside and multi-stream recycling collection, identifying new uses for glass cullet, and implementing public education campaigns about glass recycling benefits and methods. The division is required to report its research findings and policy recommendations to the Natural Resources, Agriculture, and Environment Interim Committee, and the new section authorizing this study is set to be repealed on July 1, 2026. The bill will take effect on May 7, 2025.
