Summarization
Lawmakers are pushing for the EPA to regulate plastic production more stringently and for chemical recycling ties to be cut. California has closed another year with waste and recycling legislation, and Boston has successfully introduced a food scrap collection and composting program. AI is driving infrastructure improvements in the recycling industry and initiatives from cities such as Toledo are helping lead the way. Battery electric vehicles could account for 63% of U.S. refuse truck sales by 2030, and the EPA's Renewable Fuel Standard program changes could benefit landfill and AD operators. Plastics should be designed to work in landfills to eliminate pollution, reduce GHG emissions, and increase renewable energy projects.
