More About the Proposed Plastic Waste Reduction Regulations

 The City’s Office of Sustainability is seeking feedback from food and beverage providers on proposed regulations that aim to reduce the use and disposable of single-use plastics in our City. There are several negative environmental impacts associated with plastic litter, namely:

• Plastic is the primary source of land litter in California. It comprises 7 of the top 10 litter products found on beaches, with food service ware ranking fourth highest.  
• Plastic litter infiltrates City drainage systems and accrues in landfills with a lifespan likely lasting centuries. 
• Urban runoff channels millions of tons of debris into oceans annually, threatening invaluable natural habitats and marine life. 
• Traditional petroleum-based plastics rely on nonrenewable energy sources for production and recovery, contributing to an increasing global carbon footprint throughout their lifecycle. 

The City is looking to develop plastic waste reduction regulations supported by the business community and the wider public.  However, it is paramount that we hear the voice of the business community. 

We have developed a short survey on the proposed regulations to obtain feedback from Glendale businesses. The Survey is accessed by using the following link:  GlendaleCA.gov/PlasticsSurvey.
