House Bill 3060 amends the Solid Waste Disposal Act, Health and Safety Code, to update terms and definitions relating to the regulation of recycling and recycled products, including providing for the processes of depolymerization and solvolysis. The bill requires the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) or a political subdivision of the state that establishes goals or requirements for recycling or the use of recycled material to base those goals or requirements on specified waste reduction program definitions and principles, except for a computer or television equipment recycling program. The bill requires the TCEQ to identify third‑party certification systems for mass balance attribution that may be used for recycled material and recycled plastics purposes.
