Biden Administration Announces First Government-Wide Strategy to Phase Out Single-Use Plastics by 2035
Jul 19, 2024, 07:55 PM
The Biden administration has announced a comprehensive plan to phase out single-use plastics from all federal operations by 2035. Announced on Friday, this initiative is part of a broader strategy to tackle plastic pollution and includes tougher regulations on plastic manufacturing, which releases greenhouse gases and other pollutants. The federal government, as the world's largest buyer of consumer goods, aims to reduce its environmental impact significantly. The plan also addresses marine debris, which poses threats to water quality, habitats, and economic opportunities for coastal and Great Lakes communities. President Biden's commitment to investing in America is a driving force behind these environmental efforts. This marks the first government-wide strategy to reduce plastic pollution.
