Governor Newsom Signs SB 1053 Banning All Plastic Grocery Bags in California by 2026
Sep 22, 2024, 08:57 PM
California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed SB 1053 into law on Sunday, which bans all plastic grocery bags in the state. The new legislation will require customers to use paper or reusable bags starting January 1, 2026. This law marks a significant step in California's efforts to reduce plastic waste and environmental impact. Previously, the state had banned thin plastic bags but allowed thicker, purportedly reusable and recyclable plastic bags. The new law eliminates this option entirely, aiming to further mitigate environmental damage caused by plastic waste.
