Comment:
It is very important to expand CA recycling markets and
infrastructure: 

o   Expand the existing Recycling Market Development Zone (RMDZ)
program
o   Increase performance based-investment incentives for recycling
processing and recycled-content manufacturing, building on the
model of California’s successful Plastic Market Development
Program
o   These actions would spur economic development, create jobs, and
reduce direct and lifecycle GHG emissions

Also very important to expand CA processing of yard trimmings, food
scraps, and other organic materials:

o   Reduce landfill methane emissions by providing incentives for
increasing composting and digestion 
o   Applying compost to California soils improves carbon storage,
reduces use of chemical fertilizers and their associated emissions,
and decreases energy-intensive water use 

Thank you for your consideration.
