New Jersey's 'Skip the Stuff' Law Aims to Reduce Plastic Waste in Restaurant Orders
New Jersey has implemented the 'Skip the Stuff' law, which prohibits restaurants from automatically including single-use plastic items like utensils and condiment packets in takeout and delivery orders. Signed by Governor Phil Murphy, the law is part of a broader initiative to reduce plastic waste and promote sustainable practices. Customers must now specifically request these items when placing orders, and restaurants are encouraged to provide reusable alternatives for on-site dining. The law builds on previous measures, such as bans on single-use plastic bags and polystyrene containers, and aims to address the significant environmental impact of plastic waste.
