What is the first recycling standard in California?

The first recycling standard in California was established by the California Beverage Container Recycling and Litter Reduction Act, also known as Proposition 13, which was passed in 1986. This law aimed to encourage recycling of beverage containers by instituting a deposit system for consumers, who receive refunds upon returning these containers for recycling. It marked a significant step in promoting environmental sustainability and reducing litter in the state.
