The Circular Economy
Moving from a disposable economy to a system that reuses or remakes all materials.
California recycles billions of products, but still throws 41 billion tons of trash in landfills a year. Even more trash ends up littering streets and filling our rivers and ocean.
California is moving away from a disposable system that uses most products once, then sends them to a landfill forever.
We are building a circular economy that collects and reuses items or remakes them into new products.
