These laws are phasing out plastic carryout bags in grocery stores, retail shops, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Starting January 1, 2025, pre-checkout bags must be made from recycled paper or compostable materials. By January 1, 2026, carryout bags will need to be recycled paper only.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re a business owner, you might wonder how these changes will affect you. The good news? Custom bags made by A-Pac aren\u2019t part of this ban. However, staying informed is still important to avoid confusion and ensure your business stays on the right track.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Is the California Plastic Bag Ban?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">California\u2019s plastic bag ban is one of the most comprehensive efforts in the country to eliminate single-use plastic bags. The laws aim to reduce waste and encourage the use of environmentally friendly alternatives. Here\u2019s what you need to know:<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>What\u2019s Banned?<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/calrecycle.ca.gov\/plastics\/carryoutbags\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">California Single-Use Carryout Bag Ban (SB 270)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> applies to single-use plastic carryout bags commonly distributed by:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Grocery stores<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Retail stores with pharmacies<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Convenience stores<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Food marts<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Liquor stores<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Transition Timeline:<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The laws are being rolled out in two phases:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>January 1, 2025<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Pre-checkout bags (produce, deli bags, etc.) must be made from recycled paper or compostable materials.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>January 1, 2026<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Carryout bags must be made from recycled paper at the point of sale.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stores can continue to sell reusable plastic bags made with recycled content or recycled paper bags until the 2026 deadline.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Bag Fees:<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stores are required to charge at least 10 cents per bag for reusable or recycled paper bags. The stores keep these fees to cover the cost of providing compliant bags.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Enforcement:<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Local jurisdictions enforce the ban, including cities, counties, and the California Attorney General\u2019s office. Violations can be reported to local district attorneys or the Attorney General\u2019s office.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Does The California Plastic Bag Ban Impact Businesses?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SB 270 will directly impact industries that provide bags directly to customers. Grocery, retail, food service, and liquor stores are among the most prominent sectors that must adjust their operations to meet the new requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Affected businesses must phase out single-use plastic bags and transition to alternatives like:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Reusable Bags<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Durable, recycled-content bags that customers can use multiple times.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Recycled Paper Bags<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Fully compliant with the new laws, these will become the go-to option for pre-checkout and carryout needs.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Businesses should also educate customers about these changes, including the mandatory 10-cent bag fee and the benefits of using <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polybags.com\/sustainable-poly-bags\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">environmentally friendly options<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Clear communication can prevent aggravation and ensure a smoother transition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s important to note that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polybags.com\/products\/\"><b>bags made by A-Pac Manufacturing<\/b><\/a><b> are not part of this ban.<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The legislation specifically targets single-use grocery and carryout bags, not industrial or custom-use plastic bags like those manufactured by A-Pac.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A-Pac\u2019s custom-made solutions cater to specific business needs, including industrial, commercial, and specialty applications that fall outside the scope of the ban.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By understanding the law\u2019s focus and making the necessary adjustments, businesses can stay compliant while continuing to serve their customers effectively.
