AI Summary
- Amends Georgia Code Section 12-8-22 to add new definitions for "feedstock," "gasification to fuels and chemicals," "pyrolysis," "post-use plastics," and "nonrecycled feedstock" to the state's solid waste management laws
- Excludes post-use plastics and nonrecycled feedstock processed through pyrolysis or gasification from the legal definition of "solid waste," effectively exempting these materials from solid waste regulations
- Classifies pyrolysis facilities and gasification to fuels and chemicals facilities as distinct from solid waste handling facilities and solid waste thermal treatment facilities, removing them from associated regulatory requirements
- Defines pyrolysis as an oxygen-free heating process that converts post-use plastics into fuels (oil, diesel, gasoline), chemicals, waxes, lubricants, or other products, and gasification as an oxygen-deficient process converting nonrecycled feedstock into fuel-gas mixtures for producing ethanol, transportation fuel, or chemicals
- Excludes coal refuse and scrap tires from the definition of "nonrecycled feedstock" eligible for these processes
