As part of the city’s Neighborhood and Environmental Protection Plan, Laguna Beach has adopted an ordinance that addresses plastic pollution.
The ordinance, which took effect on Thursday, bans single-use plastic food ware items in the city’s beaches, parks and trails.
The sale, use or distribution of single-use, to-go plastics such as straws, drink stirrers, eating utensils and take-out bags made from such material is also prohibited.
The city urges local food and beverage vendors to use reusable materials when possible. Restaurants are asked not to provide non-plastic alternatives like paper straws unless a customer requests them.
A food vendor may receive a one-year exemption from the ban on plastic food service ware if it can show that the conditions of the ordinance would cause undue hardship.
