Several states have enacted bans or significant restrictions on single-use plastics … Private litigation is also on the rise … There is also a risk of both government and private party litigation if and when additional findings shed further light on plastics’ environmental impacts nationwide …” #PlasticWaste #SingleUsePlastic #Recycling @DLA_Piper
