SB676

Hawaii SB676 establishes benchmarks for reducing solid waste and increasing organic waste diversion by 2030.

Hawaii SB676 amends existing statutes to embed goals and benchmarks for reducing solid waste production and increasing organic waste diversion. The bill sets a goal to reduce the solid waste stream by 40% by 2026 and 70% by 2030. It mandates that counties assess the type and amount of solid waste that can be recycled or altered through bioconversion. The bill also requires counties to incorporate these new requirements into their integrated solid waste management plans by January 1, 2035.
