L.A. County supervisors give preliminary approval to ban on single-use plastics in food service
Bay Area developers have created an environmentally friendly appliance called Lasso Loop that makes recycling easy.
She said marine animals"are consuming or becoming entangled'' in the plastics, and noted that plastic is also becoming a health issue for the human population. But the ordinance was met with opposition from business groups. A representative of the Valley Industry and Commerce Association told the board there was no evidence the ordinance will actually reduce waste, but it will definitively increase costs. According to VICA, the cost of purchasing 100 compostable forks would pay for 1,000 plastic ones.
Under that campaign, county officials will educate business owners about the requirements and also compile a list of businesses that supply compostable/recyclable materials, while also monitoring supply chain issues that could impact the availability of the materials.
