Senate Environment Committee Votes To Ban Single-Use Plastic Bags in Stores

摘要

California June 28 moved one step closer to becoming the first to impose a statewide ban on single-use plastic bags at checkout stands in grocery, drug, convenience, and liquor stores.rnThe Senate Environmental Quality Committee advanced a bill, A.B. 1998, which would replace the state's existing plastic bag recycling mandate for large stores with a phased-in ban on the bags beginning in 2012.
