to showcase the environmental and economic benefits that conversion technology can bring to Southern California.

The County of Los Angeles has been a consistent supporter of conversion technologies for nearly a decade and works collectively to increase local support and awareness of waste related issues, including conversion technologies (CTs).

The Alternative Technology Advisory Subcommittee, comprised of community representatives and experts in the field of solid waste management and conversion technologies, is

 researching various technologies suitable for a conversion facility in Southern California to manage residual solid waste (waste that is not feasibly recyclable). The County is focused on partnering with existing materials recovery facilities (MRFs) in Southern California in order to provide post-recycling residual solid waste as a feedstock to the potential conversion technology facility which would be collocated with the MRF. This arrangement provides for a natural synergy with numerous environmental benefits.
