arbcombo -- Posting of Emission Factors for Commercial Recycling

On October 21, 2011, ARB staff, in coordination with CalRecycle
staff, presented to the Board an update on the staff's work on
commercial recycling and the requirements outlined in Assembly
Bill (AB) 341. AB 341 gives CalRecycle authority to implement a
commercial recycling program, for which CalRecycle has initiated
a new rulemaking process on October 28, 2011. For more
information, please visit CalRecycle's website at:
http://www.calrecycle.ca.gov/climate/Recycling/default.htm.

Also during the October 21, 2011 meeting, the Board directed
staff to continue our collaboration with CalRecycle to ensure the
commercial recycling program's successful implementation. One
component of this collaboration is that ARB is responsible for
the development and the updating of California specific emission
reduction factors for recycled materials. These factors are used
in estimating GHG emission reductions from recycled materials.
ARB has posted these factors on its website at:
http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/protocols/localgov/localgov.htm.
