据ICIS网站7月7日消息 美国科罗拉多州州长贾里德·波利斯签署了HB21-1162法案,从2024年开始禁止在大多数零售店和餐馆使用一次性塑料袋和聚苯乙烯泡沫塑料(EPS)外卖容器。
从2023年开始,零售商需要开始对每一个纸袋或塑料袋收取10%的费用,直到禁令生效。之后,企业只能提供一个回收纸袋,收费10美分。
这项法律允许在该州拥有三个或三个以下营业点的小商店享有几项豁免。
新法还废除了一项法令,该法令禁止地方政府要求或禁止使用或销售比州法律更严格的特定类型的塑料材料,这将使科罗拉多州成为第一个废除优先购买权法的州。
袋子费的收入大部分将返还给地方政府,其中60%的袋子费将用于地方司法机构的回收计划,另外40%将用于企业。
这项禁令紧随州回收法案的立法旺季而来,全国许多州都提议禁止一次性使用塑料、化学品回收条例和延长生产者责任(EPR)法案,并取得了不同程度的成功。

Colorado governor signs law banning single-use plastic bags
US Colorado state Governor Jared Polis signed HB 21-1162 into law, which bans single-use plastic bags and expanded polystyrene foam (EPS) takeout containers at most retail establishments and restaurants beginning in 2024.
Retailers will need to start charging a 10-cent fee per paper or plastic bag beginning in 2023 until the ban goes into effect. After that, the business may only furnish a recycled paper bag at a 10-cent fee.
The law allows several exemptions for small shops with three or fewer locations in the state.
The new law also repeals a statue that banned local governments from requiring or banning the use or sale of specific types of plastic materials that are stricter than state law. This would make Colorado the first state to repeal its preemption law.
The revenue from bag fees will mostly go back to local governments, with 60% of bag fees to go to local jurisdictions’ recycling programmes, and the other 40% going to businesses.
This ban comes on the heels of an active legislative season for state recycling bills with many states across the country proposing bans of single-use plastic, chemical recycling regulations, and extended producer responsibility (EPR) bills with varying degrees of success.
