LOS ANGELES — Two months after state lawmakers passed sweeping legislation designed to reduce plastic waste, they've ponied up and passed more than a half-dozen new bills that will further reduce and clean up California's waste stream.
If Gov. Gavin Newsom signs the bills — and most observers think he will — a visit to the grocery, electronics or general retail store will fundamentally change for most residents.
"If any one of these bills had passed, it'd have been huge," said Nick Lapis, director of advocacy for Californians Against Waste. "But all of these together? It's incredible."
