Join us to learn about the NJ Business Action Center - your one-stop for the information you need to do business in New Jersey - and the new law, effective May 4, 2022, which ends the provision or sale of single-use plastic carryout bags and polystyrene foam food service products at all stores, grocery stores and food service businesses statewide.

The use of single-use paper bags will be prohibited at grocery stores that are 2500 sq. ft. in size or larger. Plastic straws may only be provided at the customer’s request after Nov. 4, 2021. The presentations will share details of the law and resources to help communities and businesses comply and make the transition to the new requirements.

Speakers:
Melanie Willoughby, Executive Director, NJ Business Action Center (moderator)
Janet Robertson, Project Manager, NJ Business Action Center
Erin Jensen, Environmental Specialist, Department of Environmental Protection
