Following passage of SP1383, local jurisdictions in California such as municipalities must develop programs to recycle organic waste from businesses and residences and maintain records of activity. The intent is to recycle and reuse waste that may be combusted or subjected to anaerobic digestion to create either biofuel or electrical power.
The legislation to reduce food waste is consistent with a 2021 U.S. Department of Energy Grant and the United Nations Sustainable Development goals supported by the Environmental Protection Agency.
