State officials said Tuesday that they will delay enforcement of bans on single-use plastic carryout bags and disposable foam food containers that were scheduled to take effect next month.
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused changes in consumer demand as well as disruptions in obtaining replacement materials that would make the ban difficult to enforce, the Maine Department of Environmental Protection said.
The ban on disposable polystyrene food containers had been scheduled to take effect Jan. 1 and the ban on single-use plastic bags was to go into effect on Jan. 15. The DEP said it will delay enforcement of the bans until July 1.

WATERVILLE Earlier this fall, KV Connect decided to postpone holding its traditional Waterville Green Drinks gatherings on the second Tuesday of each month because of COVID-19 restrictions. These events provided ways to raise money for local nonprofits while offering networking opportunities with other young professionals in the area. With needs in the community continuing to grow, KV Connect earmarked various nonprofits as beneficiaries, and committed to continued fundraising ideas to benefit those organizations.
The group set an annual goal of raising $2,020 in 2020, however, with some added creativity, including a S’mores Saturday event as part of the recent Shop Small Saturday Mid-Maine program, they were able to bring in $2,200 to benefit multiple nonprofits, according to a news release from Mid-Maine Chamber of Commerce.
