Los Proyectos de Ley de Economía Circular de California se convierten en Ley

El Gobernador Gavin Newsom Firma Cinco Proyectos de Ley que Ayudarán a Reducir La Contaminación por Plástico

Plastic Oceans International ha sido parte de la Clean Seas Lobbying Coalition, un colectivo de organizaciones de ideas afines que abogan por el Paquete Legislativo de Economía Circular de California.

Nos unimos a este esfuerzo porque el impacto catastrófico de la contaminación plástica debe abordarse mediante una acción legislativa para respaldar un sistema circular donde se reduzcan los desechos, se reutilicen los materiales y se regeneren los entornos naturales.

Después de algunos años de trabajo de promoción, estamos entusiasmados de que cinco de los proyectos de ley que abordan la contaminación plástica hayan sido firmados por el gobernador Gavin Newsom y ahora se hayan convertido en ley en California.

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.

Act On Plastic:
Why We Support California Legislation Reducing Plastic Pollution

California could be the first U.S. state to adopt a comprehensive approach to plastic waste reduction

It’s motivating to see how quickly plastic pollution awareness has grown around the world. Awareness is a critical first step in the global movement to rethink plastic and end the global plastic waste problem. But much more must be done to effectively act on plastic.

Vote YES on Proposition 67

Calling On All California-Based Supporters

In 2014 the State of California passed the United State’s first statewide ban on single-use plastic grocery bags. Obviously, a major victory for all of us working so hard to eradicate our human addiction to single-use plastic. Well, not so fast. Big Plastic is at it again, this time spending millions of dollars to reverse the ban before it becomes law.
