Plastic waste and microplastics that end up in waterways, beaches and the food chain.
What this covers
Plastic does not biodegrade; it breaks into smaller and smaller fragments called microplastics that have been found in fish, shellfish and drinking water. Legislation in this topic includes packaging and single-use plastic rules, balloon and foam restrictions, and cleanup programs.
Nothing in the current session has been classified under Plastics & Marine Debris. That can change at any point in the session — bills are introduced continuously.
