Restaurant owners are dissatisfied with a potential ban on single-use plastics in Los Angeles County’s unincorporated areas.
On April 5, the LA County Board of Supervisors voted 4–1 in favor of an ordinance requiring all food-service businesses in unincorporated areas to switch to recyclable or compostable containers, cups, and dishes. Additionally, full-service restaurants are also required to use reusable utensils, like silverware.
