What’s in it

This bill relates to the use of gasification and pyrolysis facilities for the conversion of certain recoverable waste materials. The bill creates definitions for the processes of gasification and pyrolysis, the facilities where those processes take place (“gasification facility” and “pyrolysis facility”), and the materials used in those processes (“post-use polymer” and “recoverable feedstock”). The bill excludes pyrolysis and gasification facilities from the definition of “sanitary disposal project”, certain post-use polymers and recoverable feedstocks from the definition of “solid waste”, and certain gasification and pyrolysis facilities from the definition of “waste conversion technologies”.

Read the full explanation

As such, certain post-use polymers and recoverable feedstocks and certain gasification and pyrolysis facilities are not subject to solid waste procedures and requirements set forth in Code chapter 455B. The bill also provides that preprocessed and postprocessed post-use polymers and recoverable feedstocks are the sole property of the pyrolysis or gasification facility at which those materials are stored. Under the bill, those materials shall be sold or lawfully disposed of within days of the termination of operations of a pyrolysis or gasification facility. The bill also repeals permit and fee requirements for facilities using waste conversion technologies.

Changed since by amendment H-1051; see Amendments.
