A May 2, 2022 Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP (Pillsbury) “Alert” https://www.pillsburylaw.com/en/news-and-insights/ca-first-microplastics-strategy.html advises that “… California’s adoption of the Statewide Microplastics Strategy [February 23, 2022] is the first attempt by a U.S. state to establish a comprehensive, statewide program to mitigate microplastic pollution. The Statewide Microplastics Strategy is expected to give rise to regulations and may well serve as a model for other states … To avoid being blindsided by future microplastic-related laws, companies should consider proactive measures to understand their nexuses to microplastic waste and potential risk from future regulatory actions … The Strategy … outlines early actions and research priorities that may provide a foundation for subsequent efforts to address microplastic pollution on a statewide level. In this sense, the Strategy is not a regulatory action but, rather, a policy initiative, which, if implemented, will give rise to future regulations …” #MicroPlastics #PlasticWaste #SingleUsePlastic #Recycling @pillsburylaw @OPC_California
