Food vendors at Stockton University provide only paper bags for takeaway food orders on April 5, 2022 at Stockton University in Galloway, NJ. On May 4, 2022, New Jersey will ban single-use plastic bags.When the ban starts, biodegradable bags and lightweight totes are among the bag options schools will be providing or selling to students and faculty.
Any bags from Stockton’s dwindling supply that are not used by May 4 will be recycled through a local grocery store, Todaro said. Paper bags with handles will be provided once the fall 2022 semester begins at the end of August. The College of New Jersey, which will provide free reusable tote bags to students and staff, will switch bags at its bookstore and cafe to handled brown paper bags, said school spokesman Luke Sacks. The school’s dining service areas stopped using Styrofoam in place of environmentally friendly packaging at the end of 2021.
