What To Expect From Oregon’s Bag Ban
1 Jan 2020
Oregon’s plastic bag ban takes effect Jan. 1. What Oregon grocers and shoppers can expect from the wide-sweeping legislation.
More than 100,000 sea animals are killed each year by plastic pollution, and despite efforts by conservationists, only one in seven plastic bags get recycled. For this reason, some states, including Oregon, have decided to pursue legal action to protect marine life.
This year House Bill 2509, which outlaws the use of singe-use plastic bags statewide, was signed into law by Governor Kate Brown. The ban will take effect on January 1.
