The California State Assembly has passed the most ambitious environmental bill in the U.S., targeting complete elimination of single-use plastics by 2030. The legislation mandates supermarkets, packaging firms, and restaurants to switch to compostable or reusable alternatives.
Environmentalists call this a “game changer,” while industries warn of rising packaging costs. Several U.S. states are expected to follow California’s lead.
In Bangladesh and India, where plastic waste management is a growing concern, environmental bodies are using California’s model to push for stricter regulations and incentives for eco-friendly alternatives.
