New Jersey S2426 requires each solid waste management district to devise a strategy for reducing food waste by at least 50% by 2030. The strategy must be integrated into the district's solid waste management plan and approved by the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). The bill also mandates the DEP to publish a list of measures districts can take to meet the food waste reduction goal, including increasing food donations, source separation, and composting. The measures aim to prevent food waste and reduce methane emissions.
