Malaysia will stop accepting U.S. plastic waste, creating a dilemma for California Malaysia emerged as a major destination for U.S. waste after China banned U.S. waste imports in 2018.

Malaysia will stop accepting plastic waste from countries like the U.S. that haven’t signed the Basel Convention. After China’s 2018 ban, much of California’s plastic was rerouted there. Instead of exporting our mess, California needs to step up. #LosAngeles #PlasticPollution #CalRecycle

Why L.A.’s food and yard waste is being dumped in the Antelope Valley A state law that mandated diversion of organic waste from landfills is being blamed for exacerbating illegal dumping in remote desert areas.

Another example of a well-intentioned CA law causing environmental damage: Compost law feeding into rampant dumping in SoCal's desert Antelope Valley. #SB1383 #CalRecycle @latimes www.latimes.com/environment/...

Lawmakers ask Newsom and waste agency to follow the law on plastic legislation More than two dozen lawmakers signed a letter urging the governor and CalRecycle to toss regulations drafted to implement landmark plastic legislation they say ignores the law.

#SB54 shenanigans continue: 23 lawmakers say #CalRecycle exceeded its authority in the new draft regs for the state's landmark plastic legislation and undermined the law. www.latimes.com/environment/...
