AN ACT PROHIBITING THE USE OF SINGLE-USE PACKAGING PLASTICS BY THE CANNABIS INDUSTRY.

SB 642 prohibits cannabis businesses from using single-use plastic packaging for their products and requires them to switch to recyclable or compostable alternatives. This bill directly affects cannabis retailers, manufacturers, and distributors operating in the state. The key provision mandates a shift away from plastic packaging to reduce plastic waste generated specifically by the cannabis industry. The law aims to address environmental concerns by limiting a significant source of plastic pollution tied to this sector.
