Bill > SB725

This bill expresses the California Legislature's intent to develop future legislation focused on recycling organic byproducts, specifically by creating more opportunities to convert these materials into livestock feed. The bill builds upon existing environmental policies that aim to divert organic waste from landfills, which currently involve coordinating efforts across multiple state agencies including the California Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Food and Agriculture, and the State Air Resources Board. Currently, the state promotes using agricultural, forestry, and urban organic waste as compost and encourages the use of compost to improve soil organic matter. By highlighting the potential for recycling organic byproducts into livestock feed, the bill seeks to expand waste reduction strategies and create more sustainable practices in waste management and agricultural production. While the bill does not establish specific regulations, it signals legislative interest in developing a comprehensive approach to recycling organic materials that could potentially reduce waste, support agricultural sectors, and contribute to environmental sustainability.
