The Plastic Pollution Reduction Act, House Bill 21-1162, which was signed into law July 6, represents the second most comprehensive plastic pollution reduction measure in the nation only surpassed by Vermont, said Randy Moorman at Boulder-based Eco-Cycle, one of seven major groups that advocated for the new law for the past three years.
