NYS Styrofoam Ban (effective 2022)
Polystyrene Ban Passed
Scheduled to go into effect in 2022, Governor Cuomo and the New York legislature passed a ban on single-use polystyrene food containers that will prevent tons of marine debris from entering Long Island Sound and all the waters of the state. Expanded polystyrene, more commonly known as Styrofoam, is used in food delivery packaging and lasts in our environment for hundreds of years, breaking down into micro particles that poison our natural resources and wildlife.
