It's time to move beyond plastic

So much of our plastic waste comes from single use containers, foodware, packaging and the other plastic "stuff" we know we could easily live without. And because it can take hundreds of years to degrade, all of that plastic waste is still out there in some form, clogging landfills, littering our streets and polluting our oceans.

Senate Bill 54 will greatly reduce the amount of plastic that ends up in our environment by mandating significant reductions in single-use foodware and packaging, requiring that those items actually be recyclable or compostable, and holding producers financially responsible for the plastic they put into our communities.
