VS: Palm Springs nieuwste gemeente in California die kunststof tassen verbiedt

The Palm Springs City Council has passed Ordinance 1849 that bans the distribution of single-use plastic bags. Stores can provide reusable bags or recyclable paper bags. A minimum 10-cent charge must be placed on each recyclable paper bag distributed by a store, and the bag charges must be itemized on customer receipts. The store must also keep records of the number of paper bags distributed and the fees charged.
Recyclable paper bags must have a minimum of 40% recycled content, contain no old growth fiber, be 100% recyclable, and display the words reusable and recyclable on the exterior. Stores must also promote the use of recyclable bags (State Recycling Laws Update, 14 april 2014).
