Relating to the development, promotion, and funding of certain recycling projects.

SB 2689 establishes a state program to develop and promote recycling markets in Texas. It requires the program administrator to create a detailed plan identifying current recycling volumes, unused materials, economic benefits, processing capacity, and barriers to using recycled materials in manufacturing. The plan must include recommendations to increase recycling use, support processors, and expand facilities, with updates due every even-numbered year. This bill directly affects Texas state agencies, local governments, and recycling processors by setting requirements for statewide recycling strategy and funding.
