Local state senator Ben Allen has introduced a proposed law that would phase out the sale and distribution of single-use plastics by 2030.
If his bill passes and gets signed by the governor … 75 percent of all plastic single-use packaging and products sold or distributed in California must be either be eliminated … or recycled … by the year 2030.
Allen says banning things like plastic straws or bags is just tinkering around the edges with a serious problem that needs to be addressed head-on.
Right now … less than 15 percent of single-use plastic in California is recycled.
The cost of recycling exceeds the scrap value of the plastic material.
And it’s getting worse … as China is no longer accepting materials.
