Foam-Free CT!

The Connecticut Chapter is working closely with our Northeast Regional Manager to support the passage of a statewide foam foodware ban!

2021 Session

We're working with allied environmental nonprofit organizations to support the passage of a good bill to ban expanded polystyrene foam foodware in Connecticut!

Not less than three bills have been introduced in 2021:

HB 5801- AN ACT CONCERNING POLYSTYRENE PRODUCTS
HB 5525- AN ACT PROHIBITING THE USE OF POLYSTYRENE CONTAINERS IN RESTAURANTS
HB 5821- AN ACT ELIMINATING THE USE OF SINGLE-USE POLYSTYRENE CONTAINERS

To engage with us on this campaign, please email ct@surfrider.org. To learn more about foodware policy and best practices, check out our comprehensive foodware policy toolkit!

Thank you!
