Quinn, M. (2022, September 19). California gov. Newsom signs many recycling and waste bills, vetoes two. Waste Dive. Retrieved January 29, 2023, from https://www.wastedive.com/news/california-governor-newsom-sign-waste-recycling-bills-2022/631600/ 

Gavin Newsom continues signing recycling and waste bills in order to flourish the growth California is making. The state is trying to add more battery recycling programs as the concern keeps raising. The bill number SB 1215, known as the Electronic Waste Recycling Act of 2003, requires retailers to sell covered electronic devices which means video display devices of 4 inches. 

While trying to improve the methods to recycle these materials, they should focus on making the process more convenient to consumers. However, adding more regulations will create a structure to follow and many people are still unaware of what’s going on. If people don’t know about the issue how will they know to follow all the regulations that come with it. It makes it harder because as we continue to evolve there’s more technology, more people will have it. Therefore, leads to more improper disposal of their devices.
