California Circular Economy Bills Become Law
Governor Gavin Newsom Signs Six Bills That Will Help Reduce Plastic Pollution
Plastic Oceans International has been proud to be part of the Clean Seas Lobbying Coalition, a collective of like-minded organizations advocating for the California Circular Economy Package of legislation.
We joined this effort because the catastrophic impact of plastic pollution needs to be addressed by legislative action to support a circular system where waste is reduced, materials are reused and natural environments are regenerated.
After a few years of advocacy work, we are excited that five of the bills that address plastic pollution were signed into law by Governor Gavin Newsom on Tuesday, October 5; with a sixth being signed the following day.
