18. Several surveys sent, two food diversion programs talked with staff. Data not tracked in a manner that supported survey. Materials received not considered a waste, but rather a useful resource. Marin’s Food Diversion Activities CIWMB Board Meeting, Sacramento

19. Of the Surveys distributed 4 survey respondents talked with staff. Data not tracked in a manner that supported survey. Due to international markets, brokers and recyclers will be best source to determine regional markets and ability to divert additional material. Marin’s Plastic Activities CIWMB Board Meeting, Sacramento

20. Potential for the Changing Markets • C&D: Procurement of aggregate crusher significantly changed products/market. • Paper: Potential evolution and development of alternative energy and bio fuels markets. • Plastics: Passage of AB 2449 CIWMB Board Meeting, Sacramento

21. Overall Findings of Initial Pilot • Success was in large part dependent on support of local jurisdiction and local requirements to provide data. • Collectors and processors use different nomenclature than CIWMB. • Food waste, organics and C&D markets are regional. • Paper and plastics markets are statewide or international. CIWMB Board Meeting, Sacramento

22. Overall Findings of Initial Pilot • Complete quantification of total materials collected and recycled does not measure the success of recycling. • Intensive data collection gave us a snapshot in time. • Need to understand the limiting factors including the availability of collection programs and processors. CIWMB Board Meeting, Sacramento

23. Overall Findings of Initial Pilot • There were significant changes in C&D and plastics markets in one year. • Infrastructure and cheap disposal are key barriers. CIWMB Board Meeting, Sacramento

24. Recommended Refinements • Since markets are fluid, obtain data on the general diversion activities within a jurisdiction. Use this to identify barriers to market development. • Since markets go beyond county boundaries, focus on identifying regional markets. • Involve stakeholders in a more interactive process. CIWMB Board Meeting, Sacramento

25. Next Steps CIWMB Board Meeting, Sacramento

26. Sacramento County Pilot Project • Identify existing data related to commodities. • Work with recycling coordinators to identify issues and opportunities. • Hold regional local expert stakeholder forums. • Obtain general waste flow information from stakeholders. CIWMB Board Meeting, Sacramento
