Goodbye, 12 oz. Evian. Hello, Hyrdo Flask.
The moves are part of a plan by city officials to limit greenhouse gas emission and reduce plastic pollution. Carlsbad officials cited a CalRecycle figure of 4 billion —billion — plastic bottles ending up in landfills or as litter in 2020.
If you're a restaurateur or retailer, though, you have time:"enforcement will be phased in, beginning July 1, 2023, for retail establishments, and July 1, 2024, for food-service providers," officials said. Until then, the laws will be in effect but will not be enforced, said Jamie Wood, the city's environmental management director. And even then, just to be clear, nobody is going to be chasing scofflaws down the street if they're swigging a Smart Water. It's distribution that's being banned, not usage, so bear in mind that you won't be able to head over to Costco for a 30-pack or hand them out at the marathon.
And you can still get paper bags or those bags you have to buy for a dime or whatever. Wood said the city was mirroring state law for grocery stores in that regard, but, once the laws are enforced, you'll have to pay a dime at ALL retailers for one of those heavy-grade plastic bags or purchase a new recyclable one . Unless the businesses opt not to sell them at all. It's their call.
