The Problem

• We produce 300 million tons of plastic per year

• Plastic production will increase by 40% in the next 10 years

• 50% of plastic produced is for single use purposes

• 8 million tons of plastic are thrown into the ocean per year

• Less than 9% of plastic is recycled

​

Bill Overview

• SB 54 and AB 1080 would reduce California's plastic usage by getting rid of single use, non-recyclable plastic and pushing companies to create eco-friendly packaging
