Plastic consumption in New Jersey tripled despite the state's 2022 plastic ban meant to and address the "problem of plastic pollution," according to a study from a business-research firm.
The study found that the state's law banning single-use plastic bags led to a 60% decrease in the total bag volume, according to analysis from the Freedonia Report, MarketResearch.com's business research division.
However, as consumers started searching for alternatives and purchasing plastic reusable bags, the state saw plastic consumption triple, largely because of the material used in the alternative bags, the report shows.
"Most of these alternative bags are made with non-woven polypropylene, which is not widely recycled in the United States and does not typically contain any post-consumer recycled materials," the report states.

Hi. Following up
Great win for RDS. Doing what he does best. Running Florida and turning it into a haven for conservatives.

This win alone is more than any other republican has accomplished in the last 10 years or so
I'm still waiting on that list of governors who have accomplished more than RDS that you teased

An amazing governor advancing amazing conservative policies!
And the worst potential president we've ever seen!!

Last year was much much worse
But this is the price you paywhen you're a slave to shareholders. MOst businesses if they had billions in income would be hiring employees and looking for growth opportunities, not shedding employees.

Got folks in SF trying to pass laws that govern car speeds while the city is unaffordable and drug addicted homeless **** all over the sidewalks.
Got folks in Chicago voting on international ceasefires while bodies pile up in their own streets.
Got folks in NYC classifying social media use as “environmental waste” while students are kicked out of their own schools to make room for hordes of illegal migrants.
Is this the move under late-stage progressive rule? Let’s waste our time on idiotic virtue signaling and useless proclamations regarding issues that are irrelevant and/or don’t fall under our purview because we simply have no answers for the actual problems facing our cities (most of which we created)?
