SB 1156 Summary

• Adds definitions for "advanced recycling," "advanced recycling facility," and related processes (pyrolysis, gasification, depolymerization, solvolysis) to Arizona Revised Statutes Chapter 49 (solid waste regulations).

• Defines "post-use polymers" and "recovered feedstocks" as materials that may be processed through advanced recycling without being classified as solid waste under specific conditions.

• Exempts advanced recycling facilities from solid waste facility regulations if they convert recovered feedstocks using advanced recycling processes and meet environmental control standards for wind dispersion, hazardous substance discharge, vector breeding, and fire hazards.

• Requires recovered feedstocks and post-use polymers to be converted through advanced recycling within 90 days of storage, or up to 120 days if the facility is on government property with contractual approval.

• Makes technical corrections to definitions and terminology throughout the solid waste statutes, including updates to numbering and minor grammatical changes.
