How to Prepare for AB 1305 ft. Nico van Aelstyn & Derek Six

Thanks to The Untangling Circularity Podcast, our December Sponsor. The Untangling Circularity Podcast tackles unanswered circular economy questions. Co-hosts Cynthia Power and Laura Novich, both experienced sustainability and circularity professionals, have identified topics they would like more clarity on, and by addressing these questions head-on and bringing in experts, they begin to bring shape to the answers.

In this episode, Kaitlyn Allen welcomes Derek Six, ClimeCo's Chief Operating Officer, and Nico van Aelstyn, a Partner with Sheppard Mullin. 

Listen as Kaitlyn, Derek, and Nico unpack California's Assembly Bill (AB) 1305, which requires sellers/marketers and buyers/consumers of voluntary carbon credits to disclose certain information on their websites. The climate-related law goes into effect on January 1, 2024, to increase consumer knowledge.

During their conversation, Nico and Derek clarify potential ambiguities related to this law, including what it means to 'do business in California' and how to prepare for its enactment. The information shared is a great 'crash course' for the upcoming changes in 2024.
