Eliminates prohibition on provision of single-use paper bags by grocery stores for delivery orders; requires certain retailers to repurpose cardboard boxes if feasible.
This bill allows grocery stores to provide single-use paper bags for delivery orders (with a fee), removing a previous prohibition that applied to all delivery services. It also requires grocery stores and food service businesses to repurpose cardboard boxes from deliveries for reuse whenever feasible, such as for future deliveries or other appropriate uses. The bill maintains the existing ban on single-use plastic bags and on single-use paper bags for in-store pickup. These changes apply to retailers delivering goods directly to customers in New Jersey.
