New Jersey has become the latest state to crack down on single-use plastics, with the "Skip the Stuff" law taking effect. The legislation, aimed at reducing waste and promoting sustainability, bans the sale of single-use plastics such as straws, bags, and foam containers in the state. Starting today, businesses in New Jersey will be prohibited from offering or selling these items, with some exceptions for medical and food service purposes. As the Garden State joins a growing list of jurisdictions tackling plastic pollution, residents and visitors will need to get creative when it comes to staying hydrated, carrying groceries, and enjoying takeout - or risk facing fines for non-compliance.
