must provide only recyclable or compostable food ware such as containers, cups, dishes and cutlery under a new ordinance aimed at reducing waste and fossil fuels.
"The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors approved the measure in April 2022 to reduce plastic blight, unburden landfills and reduce our dependence on harmful fossil fuels," according to a statement from the county's executive office. "The vote made Los Angeles County the largest municipality in the nation to take aggressive action against the scourge of single-use plastics.
Stuart Waldman, president of the Valley Industry and Commerce Association, said the ordinance is another policy that increases costs without balancing it out for businesses. Small businesses will be hit harder as many don't have the ability to buy recyclable or compostable food ware in bulk, he said.
