A new survey found that 84% of food trucks in Philadelphia have been violating the plastic bag ban.
The research found that 21 of the 25 trucks, or 84%, were still giving single-use plastic bags to customers.
During the survey, three of the vendors gave customers paper bags while one vendor didn't use any type of bag.“I believe that all businesses should follow the current laws in order to reach our goals of zero waste and eliminate the single-use plastics that directly damage our health, environment, and waterways," City Councilmember Mark Squilla said.
It's been two years since the city of Philadelphia passed the ban on single-use plastic bags. The goal of the ordinance was to end the use of these bags that have been found to pollute the city and environment, according to officials. Back in the spring, a study by the city of Philadelphia found that large chain grocery stores had stopped using single-use plastic bags by more than 90%.
