Newsom signs measure environmental groups have urged since 1980s to reduce litter
Just polished off a nice Chardonnay? A glass of Pinot with dinner? A mango margarita even?
Starting Jan. 1, 2024, shoppers will pay an extra 10 cents for a bottle of wine or hard liquor, and will get that money back if they turn the bottle in at a recycling center. If they put it in the recycling cart at the end of their driveway, their city will get the dime back from the state when it recycles the bottle.“We’re happy and excited,” said Mark Murray, executive director of Californians Against Waste, a non-profit group. “What isn’t recycled ends up in landfills or tossed out as litter.
After the new law takes effect, if consumers end up recycling wine and liquor bottles at the same rate as other glass bottles in the bottle bill program, an additional 360 million wine and beer bottles a year would be recycled and not thrown away, according to Murray. Other wine industry leaders opposed the fees that beverage container manufacturers must pay under the program to help recycling centers offset their costs.Under California’s climate change rules, large manufacturing companies must buy credits for each ton of greenhouse gases they emit. Using recycled glass to make bottles instead of making new ones generates fewer greenhouse emissions, lowering the costs for major glass makers like Gallo Glass in Modesto, which run huge furnaces.
With industry opposition removed, last month the bill passed 78-0 in the state Assembly and 38-0 in the state Senate. Under the bill, glass companies are eligible for up to $60 million a year in incentives for the next five years, or $300 million, which will come out of the state CRV fund.
