Addressing the plastics problem
Plastics pollution is widespread and threatens our waterways, wildlife and personal health. Many plastic products are difficult to recycle. Since 2019, Washington Legislature has focused on plastics when it passed a law banning single-use plastic bags and funded a plastics study.
A new single-use serviceware law is part of a package of new legislation passed in 2021 to reduce single-use plastic use and increase recycled content in bottles and trash bags.
New law aims to reduce waste from single-use serviceware
Washington State makes further progress toward waste reduction by introducing the new single-use serviceware law. Beginning in 2022, restaurants and food service businesses can no longer provide single-use ware by default. Customers must request or confirm the single-use items they choose. They may also select their items from a service menu.
