What California’s SB 1383 Teaches Us About the Future of Food Waste Prevention

At a Glance: Understanding California Senate Bill 1383

What is California SB 1383? SB 1383 is a statewide law in California enacted to reduce emissions of short-lived climate pollutants, specifically methane, which is generated when organic waste decomposes in landfills.

What are the primary goals of SB 1383? The legislation sets two specific targets to be achieved by 2025:

75% reduction in organic waste disposal (compared to 2014 levels).

20% recovery of currently disposed edible food for human consumption.

Who does SB 1383 affect? The law impacts cities, counties, businesses, and residents. Jurisdictions must establish organic waste collection and edible food recovery programs including associated inspection and enforcement activities. Businesses and residents are required to participate in local organic waste collection programs. Additionally, "commercial edible food generators" (such as supermarkets, hotels, and large venues) must recover the maximum amount of edible food that would otherwise be disposed of.

Why is SB 1383 important for foodservice? It represents a shift from a linear economy to a circular one, requiring businesses to measure and manage their organic waste streams actively to meet donation requirements and avoid penalties.
