Plain-English Summary

This bill would ban or restrict the use of foam products—like foam cups, food containers, and packaging materials—that are difficult to recycle and harmful to the environment. The restrictions would affect businesses that manufacture, import, or sell these foam items, as well as restaurants and retailers that currently use them for serving food and drinks. The goal is to reduce plastic waste in landfills and oceans by pushing companies and consumers toward more environmentally friendly alternatives.
