Local state senator Ben Allen is at the center of a massive tussle at the state capitol.
He is the author of Senate Bill 54 … one of two companion bills taking aim at the billions of tons of packaging sent to the dumps of California every year.
The companion bills are widely considered to be the most significant environmental legislation of 2019 in California.
They would require two fundamental changes in California law.
All single-use packaging and food products — including plates, straws, forks, spoons, knives, cups and bowls that are offered for sale, sold, or imported into California — would have to be recyclable or made of materials that can compost.
And … the bills also would require a 75% reduction of the waste generated from single-use packaging in California by 2030.
The Sacramento Bee newspaper reports that opponents include the California Chamber of Commerce, the Chemical Industry Council of California, the Grocery Manufacturers Association, the Plastic Shipping Container Institute and other industry groups.
The five largest companies in California— Nestle, Procter & Gamble, PepsiCo, Unilever and Anheuser Busch — say they can meet those goals … by 2025.
The legislative session wraps up tomorrow.
Stay tuned … we’ll see what comes out of the sausage factory.
