California has enacted a new law to ban all plastic shopping bags by 2026, eliminating the option for consumers while promoting reusable and recycled alternatives.
State Senator Catherine Blakespear highlighted the failure of the previous bag ban, noting increases in plastic waste and the lack of proper recycling efforts among consumers.
Environmental groups, including Oceana, praised the new law as a significant step toward reducing plastic pollution and protecting California's coastal environments.
The new legislation positions California as a leader in global efforts against plastic pollution, adding to existing bans already in place across multiple states.
