City Council Committee Advances Ordinance That Would Ban Single-Use Plasticware In Restaurant Takeout Orders
CHICAGO (CBS) -- A City Council Committee has approved a measure that would set a limit on plasticware in Chicago.
The Environmental Protection Committee advanced the ordinance on Monday.
It would ban restaurants from including single-use plastic utensils, as well as napkins and condiment packets, in takeout orders unless requested by a customer.
The ban goes to a full City Council vote on Tuesday.
