Wave goodbye to plastic pollution.
It’s time to hold brands, manufacturers, and the plastics industry accountable for their role in the ocean plastic crisis, which is why 4ocean supports the Break Free From Plastic Pollution Act.
If passed, this bill would:
-Require producers of packaging, containers, and food-service products to design, manage, and finance waste and recycling programs
-Create a nationwide beverage container refund program
-Ban certain single-use plastic products that are not recyclable
-Ban single-use plastic carryout bags and place a fee on the distribution of remaining carryout bags
-Establish minimum recycled content requirements for beverage containers, packaging and food-service products
-Spur massive investments in U.S. domestic recycling and composting infrastructure
-Prohibit plastic waste from being shipped to developing countries that are ill-equipped to manage it
-Protect state and local governments that enact more stringent standards on single-use plastic production and consumption
-Place a temporary pause on new plastic facilities until EPA updates and creates important regulations on those facilities
