If passed, the act would ban most single-use plastics and place a moratorium on new or expanded plastic production facilities.

The Break Free From Plastic Pollution Act, introduced in March, would phase out unnecessary single-use plastic products and prevent new and expanded plastic production facilities across the country.

This federal bill would phase out single-use plastic products, prevent shipping plastic waste to developing countries, pause new and expanded plastic production facilities, make producers responsible for their waste and more.

It also proposes a moratorium on expanded plastic production facilities until they can undergo an environmental impact assessment from the EPA.

The action items include eliminating subsidies for plastic producers, suspending permits for new or expanded plastic production facilities, and supporting public health and fair labor initiatives in communities that suffer adversely from plastic production.
