Bills targeting polystyrene containers, single-use plastics separately pass Illinois House, Senate

Two environmentally focused bills that would ban polystyrene foam food containers and curb single-use plastics separately have passed the Illinois House and Senate, and slowly are making their way to the other chamber.

HB2376, which would phase out the usage of single-use, polystyrene foam food containers made it through the House and awaits assignment in the Senate. It was introduced by Rep. Jennifer Gong-Gershowitz of Glenview and passed on March 21 on a 67-43 vote with two representatives absent and two abstentions.
