Bag. polystyrene bans not going away

摘要

Orlando, Fla. - Bans on plastic bags and take-out polystyrene containers aren't going to easily go away and are only part of a larger effort to get rid of products seen as litter, says Laurie Hansen, executive director of the Western Plastics Association. And next on the horizon, she says, are extended producer responsibility laws. "They are all happening because litter is happening and marine debris is happening," said Hansen, during a presentation at the Business of Plastics conference at NPE2012 in Orlando, Fla.
