"Hey there, sustainable life warriors! We have some exciting news that’s sure
to make your day. On Monday, Oregon leaped into action and became the 10th
state in the U.S. to ban polystyrene foam food containers, those pesky little
nuisances linked to health and environmental hazards. And that’s not all –
they’ve also banned toxic “forever chemicals” known as PFAS in food packaging!
Starting in 2025, Oregon’s new law will prohibit the production, sale, and
distribution of polystyrene foam cups, takeout food containers, and even
coolers and packing peanuts. The Beaver State is making a serious commitment to
ditch single-use plastics and replace them with reusable alternatives.
Now, this isn’t a spur-of-the-moment decision. It’s the result of a persistent
effort led by Oregon state Senator Janeen Sollman and her bipartisan allies.
They’ve been itching to ban this plastic offender for a long time, and finally,
their day has come."
