This is the first of a two-part special that focused on single-use plastics (SUP). Our discussions focused on the urgency of solving the plastics problem, calls to pass a bill banning SUP products and packaging, Extended Producer Responsibility, and the need for government to ensure a just transition for sectors and stakeholders that will be affected by banning SUPs.
