Both bills would remove a provision from the state\u2019s original ban allowing stores to use thicker, \u201creusable\u201d bags made out of plastic film. They would also revise the ban\u2019s requirement for stores to provide paper bags made out of 40% recycled material to 100% recycled material.<\/p>\n<p>In 2021, Californians generated upwards of 231,000 tons of plastic bag waste, according to a study from the California Public Interest Research Group (CALPRIG) \u2014 considered an all-time high for the state. Environmental groups and other proponents for revision to remove this exception from the single-use plastic bag ban argue it will help address this trend and bring the state closer towards its climate change goals.<\/p>\n<p>Opponents of the revision, which includes plastics manufacturers and recyclers, contest the scope of these impacts on the state, arguing it could also have unintended consequences like the elimination of green manufacturing groups and a \u201cviable avenue for recycling flexible packaging.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/news\/california-lawmakers-pass-bills-ban-191238916.html\">Yahoo<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/5-533\/\">California lawmakers pass bills to ban plastic \u2018reusable\u2019 shopping bags<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[10272,2571,575,694],"class_list":["post-130652","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-bag","tag-california","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-plastic"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130652","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=130652"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130652\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=130652"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=130652"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=130652"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
