Countdown to the Plastics & Styrofoam Ban
FRIDAY, JULY 16 AT 11:00AM
VIA ZOOM
New Jersey businesses can start preparing now for implementation of a new law, which takes effect May 4, 2022, and ends the use of single-use plastic carryout bags and polystyrene foam food service products at retail stores and food service businesses. The use of single-use paper carryout bags will also be prohibited at grocery stores over 2,500 square feet. Plastic straws will be limited to by-request-only beginning Nov. 4, 2021.
The NJ Business Action Center, the NJ Department of Environmental Protection, and the NJ Clean Communities Council are working together to help communities and businesses understand and comply with the law. Melanie Willoughby, Executive Director of the NJ Business Action Center, will present an overview of the law, a discussion of frequently asked questions, an easy-to-read chart explaining what businesses are affected and how to comply, and will showcase many other resources that are available at Business.NJ.gov to help you help your businesses.
As always, all participants will be invited to join in a conversation about the topic after the main presentation. We hope you will come ready to ask questions and share your experiences with local plastic ban ordinances.
