Bill > HB785

This bill amends the Official Code of Georgia Annotated to modify and enact new definitions related to solid waste management. Key provisions include: - Defining "feedstock" as raw material used in a machine or industrial process, and "gasification to fuels and chemicals" as a process to convert non-recycled feedstock into fuels, chemicals, or other products. - Defining "non-recycled feedstock" as certain materials, such as post-use plastics, that can be used as feedstock in a gasification to fuels and chemicals facility. - Defining "pyrolysis" as a process to convert post-use plastics into various fuels and products, and "pyrolysis facility" as a facility that processes post-use plastics using pyrolysis. - Clarifying that recovered materials processing facilities, pyrolysis facilities, and gasification to fuels and chemicals facilities are not considered solid waste handling facilities under the law. The bill aims to modify and expand definitions related to emerging waste management technologies and processes, while excluding them from regulations applicable to traditional solid waste handling.
