Communities in Marin County are adopting ordinances banning single-use plastics.
While some businesses were already moving in that direction, others worry that their food products won't keep in biodegradable containers.
Supervisor Rodoni said these regulations help cities in Marin County fall in line with state requirements on recycling. "We were kind of already in that motion of making sure things were compostable, biodegradable and the right kind of recyclable," said Patrick Odenthal, the general manager of Finnigan's Marin in Novato."Just making sure people are trained and informed about what the right and wrong product is in your restaurant and making sure it's actually getting recycled."
Some businesses say the transition will not be easy as they sell food items like soup and other hot or greasy dishes that need plastic products in order to deliver to-go orders. Takeout is a major source of revenue for them so they worry what a plastic-free future would mean for them in the near term.
