Disposable plastic, paper bags ban goes into effect
NEW JERSEY, NJ, UNITED STATES: A New Jersey law is in effect barring grocery stores from giving customers single-use paper and plastic bags for all retailers with an exemption of food retailers with less than 2,500 square feet in store space from the paper bag prohibition, though they are still barred from dispensing single-use plastic bags. Retailers will move to alternatives such as the non-woven polypropylene bags also knows NWPP bags, canvas bags, and thick plastic reusable bags.
Violators of new rules first face a warning, then a $1,000 fine that jumps to $5,000 for their third breach and any thereafter. NWPP Bags are the most environmentally friendly alternatives that are still cost effective and compliant with new law in effect.
