Bill mandates compostable foodware in Illinois state parks – Center Square

If Gov. J.B. Pritzker signs it, SB1915 will require state agencies to contract with suppliers only providing compostable or recyclable foodware in state parks and natural areas. Studies have shown Illinoisans produce 23% more waste than other states per resident and very little is ever recycled, according to Illinois Environmental Council Executive Director Jen Walling.
