據(jù)ICIS網(wǎng)站7月7日消息 美國(guó)科羅拉多州州長(zhǎng)賈里德·波利斯簽署了HB21-1162法案，從2024年開(kāi)始禁止在大多數(shù)零售店和餐館使用一次性塑料袋和聚苯乙烯泡沫塑料（EPS）外賣容器。

　　從2023年開(kāi)始，零售商需要開(kāi)始對(duì)每一個(gè)紙袋或塑料袋收取10%的費(fèi)用，直到禁令生效。之后，企業(yè)只能提供一個(gè)回收紙袋，收費(fèi)10美分。

　　這項(xiàng)法律允許在該州擁有三個(gè)或三個(gè)以下?tīng)I(yíng)業(yè)點(diǎn)的小商店享有幾項(xiàng)豁免。

　　新法還廢除了一項(xiàng)法令，該法令禁止地方政府要求或禁止使用或銷售比州法律更嚴(yán)格的特定類型的塑料材料，這將使科羅拉多州成為第一個(gè)廢除優(yōu)先購(gòu)買權(quán)法的州。

　　袋子費(fèi)的收入大部分將返還給地方政府，其中60%的袋子費(fèi)將用于地方司法機(jī)構(gòu)的回收計(jì)劃，另外40%將用于企業(yè)。

　　這項(xiàng)禁令緊隨州回收法案的立法旺季而來(lái)，全國(guó)許多州都提議禁止一次性使用塑料、化學(xué)品回收條例和延長(zhǎng)生產(chǎn)者責(zé)任（EPR）法案，并取得了不同程度的成功。

　　Colorado governor signs law banning single-use plastic bags

　　US Colorado state Governor Jared Polis signed HB 21-1162 into law, which bans single-use plastic bags and expanded polystyrene foam (EPS) takeout containers at most retail establishments and restaurants beginning in 2024.

　　Retailers will need to start charging a 10-cent fee per paper or plastic bag beginning in 2023 until the ban goes into effect. After that, the business may only furnish a recycled paper bag at a 10-cent fee.

　　The law allows several exemptions for small shops with three or fewer locations in the state.

　　The new law also repeals a statue that banned local governments from requiring or banning the use or sale of specific types of plastic materials that are stricter than state law. This would make Colorado the first state to repeal its preemption law.

　　The revenue from bag fees will mostly go back to local governments, with 60% of bag fees to go to local jurisdictions’ recycling programmes, and the other 40% going to businesses.

　　This ban comes on the heels of an active legislative season for state recycling bills with many states across the country proposing bans of single-use plastic, chemical recycling regulations, and extended producer responsibility (EPR) bills with varying degrees of success.
