Materials & Consumption | 48Pleasanton Climate Action Plan 2.0 Strategy MC-1. Increase waste diversion and optimize collection and disposal systems Existing Ongoing Actions E7. SB 1383 implementation Emissions reduction 135,100 City Cost N/A Co-benefits Community Cost N/A The City will continue to implement SB 1383, which includes establishing a robust food recovery program, developing an implementation plan to reduce methane emissions by decreasing organics in the landfill, and increasing education and outreach around compliance. E8. Outreach and education Emissions reduction City Cost N/A Co-benefits Community Cost N/A The City will build upon existing outreach and education efforts around reducing waste generation, educating about proper sorting, and increasing waste diversion to bolster understanding of ways to reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills. Primary Actions P12. Single-use plastic reduction Emissions reduction City Cost $0 Co-benefits Community Cost $0 The City will continue to explore viable paths to reduce single-use plastic, working with key regional partners such as StopWaste. Actions aimed at reducing single-use plastics are popular in the community and benefit both human and ecosystem health. The City can support businesses in the transition to sustainable products to address potential business concerns. As part of this effort, the following should be considered: • Update the PMC to require large and special events producers to provide and use reusables, provide recycling and composting infrastructure, and divert waste from landfill after the event. • Work with regional partners to promote participation in waste reduction and reusable programs (e.g., ReThink Disposables), for businesses to incorporate more reusable food ware. • Implement a citywide ordinance that reduces single-use plastics, and enhances the use of reusable products, particularly food and drink ware.
