Banning Toxics from Plastic Bottles Act of 2024
The Banning Toxics from Plastic Bottles Act of 2024 prohibits retailers from selling single-use beverage containers containing specific toxic substances (such as certain phthalates and bisphenols), polyethylene terephthalate glycol, polyethylene glycol, or non-transparent containers (except transparent blue or green). Violations carry fines up to $50,000 per violation, with collected funds supporting a new Local Clean Up of Plastics Fund. This fund provides grants to local governments for improving waste management, water systems, and recycling infrastructure, prioritizing rural and underserved communities. The law takes effect two years after enactment.
