We're working with allied environmental nonprofit organizations to support the passage of a good bill to ban expanded polystyrene foam foodware in Connecticut!
Not less than three bills have been introduced in 2021:
-
HB 5801- AN ACT CONCERNING POLYSTYRENE PRODUCTS
HB 5525- AN ACT PROHIBITING THE USE OF POLYSTYRENE CONTAINERS IN RESTAURANTS
HB 5821- AN ACT ELIMINATING THE USE OF SINGLE-USE POLYSTYRENE CONTAINERS
