CA, NY Lead The Nation In Plastic Bag Recycling Efforts

摘要

Last month, the New York City Council passed the "New York City Plastic Carryout Bag Recycling Law," requiring any store in New York City that uses plastic bags and occupies 5,000 or more square feet to establish an in-store recycling program for plastic bags. The legislation mirrors California legislation (AB 2449) passed in 2006, which also encourages in-store recycling by consumers.
