Governor Gavin Newsom has now signed the bill into law.
It requires that single-use packaging and plastic single-use foodservice disposables be recyclable or compostable by 2032.
By 2032, a 25% reduction in the sales of plastic packaging will be implemented.

By that date, 65% of all single-use plastic packaging will be recycled.
Its really a health threat.
This health threat is not distributed evenly, affecting poor and marginalized communities more severely.
Such legislation ispopulararound the globe.
This is a huge win for our ocean.
