NYC Officials Consider Banning Styrofoam
Maspeth, NY 718-416-1656
New York City
officials are considering banning plastic foam containers from being sold in
NYC as an effort to increase the city’s recycling rate.
Many NYC takeout locations use polystyrene or Styrofoam
products to package up takeout for many customers. However, these containers
can take years to break down when put in the trash.
Department of Sanitation Deputy Commissioner Ron Gonen said,
“The environmental benefits of recycling are obvious. What we’re trying to do
is make clear to everyone why it’s important from an economic perspective.”
