National Parks to Drop Single-Use Plastics Within 10 Years
The U.S. Department of Interior will phase-out the use of single-use plastics from areas it manages, including all national parks, within 10 years.
Interior Secretary Deb Haaland mandated the move, which aims to reduce waste, by 2032 in an order issued on June 8. Products that will be phased out include “plastic and polystyrene food and beverage containers, bottles, straws, cups, cutlery and disposable plastic bags.”
