NJ Passes Statewide Law Banning Single-Use Items
Progressive Grocer – September 28, 2020
New Jersey lawmakers have passed legislation to outlaw the use or sale of single-use plastic carryout bags, single-use paper carryout bags and polystyrene foam foodservice products, and limit the provision of single-use plastic straws. The state’s food industry has praised the new law, which would phase in the restrictions over time and preempt municipal and county regulations.
