Organics & Food Waste Diversion
SB 1383 is active. AB 1826 thresholds apply. ICTV manages food waste, depackaging, FOG, and processing residuals for multi-site operations — with weight-ticket documentation for every load.
Every organic stream. Fully documented.
Food Waste
- • Expired fruits and vegetables
- • Prepared food, bakery, deli
- • Meat and dairy waste
- • Plate waste from cafeterias
- • Food production scraps
Diverted to composting and anaerobic digestion with weight tickets for every load.
Packaged Food & Depackaging
- • Unsold grocery products
- • Packaged produce
- • Frozen and refrigerated items
- • Recalled packaged inventory
Depackaging systems separate organic material from packaging so food waste can enter compliant recovery pathways.
FOG — Fats, Oils & Grease
- • Used cooking oil
- • Grease trap waste
- • Interceptor waste
- • Food processing liquids
Liquid organics managed through approved collection and processing networks.
Organic Processing Residuals
- • Brewery / distillery spent grains
- • Food manufacturing residuals
- • Agricultural byproducts
- • Compostable processing waste
High-volume organics from production operations placed into composting and anaerobic digestion.
Packaged food can be recovered — not landfilled.
Many food products generated by grocery stores, food manufacturers, and distribution centers cannot be diverted through traditional recycling because the organic material is locked inside packaging. Depackaging systems separate organic content from plastic, metal, and cardboard packaging so food waste can be recovered while packaging streams are recycled or disposed compliantly.
Increases diversion rates
Recover organic material that would otherwise go to landfill inside its packaging.
Reduces landfill costs
Less waste to landfill means lower disposal costs and fewer hauler pulls.
Separates recyclable packaging
Packaging components are recovered into their own recycling streams.
Three proven diversion pathways.
Composting
Organic material converted to soil amendment. Accepted by most California composting facilities. Weight-ticket documentation included.
Anaerobic Digestion
Food waste and organics converted to biogas and digestate. High-diversion pathway for wet organics and FOG.
Animal Feed Recovery
Food waste meeting quality standards diverted to licensed animal feed processors. Highest-value diversion pathway when material qualifies.
Audit-ready documentation. Every load.
- Weight tickets for every load
- Delivery receipts from licensed processors
- CalRecycle-ready diversion reports
- SB 1383 five-year recordkeeping compliance
- AB 1826 threshold tracking by site
- Greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction metrics
Five-year recordkeeping
SB 1383 requires businesses to retain diversion records for a minimum of five years. ICTV provides documentation in formats ready for regulatory review by CalRecycle, local enforcement agencies, and third-party auditors.
