Plastic Bag Ban in Maine Has Been Delayed Due to COVID-19
The ban on single-use plastic bags and polystyrene containers in Maine was originally supposed to take place in April 2020, but the pandemic caused that to change.
A follow-up ban date was supposed to then start in January 2021, but again, thanks to COVID-19, the Maine Department of Environmental Protection decided to delay the ban and push it back once more, according to WMTW.
The new enforcement date of the ban on plastic bags will be in July 2021, the news station reported. But seeing as the first two times were postponed and the pandemic doesn t look like it s going away anytime soon, be on the lookout for that date to change as well.
