California Plastic Bag Ban Extends to Santa Monica
Originally passed on November 16, 2010, the ban defines the prohibited bags as any "made predominantly of plastic derived from either petroleum or a biologically-based source, such as corn or other plant sources, which is provided to a customer at the point of sale." The ban includes recyclable and compostable plastic bags, although recyclable plastic bags at least 2.25 mil thick which have a minimum lifespan of 125 uses may be used. Customers are still allowed to use bags of any type that they bring to the store themselves.
