New Bill Aims to Curb Single-Use Items in Takeout Orders

A proposed legislation is advancing to the House that seeks to reduce the use of single-use items such as plastic utensils, napkins, and ketchup packets in takeout orders. This initiative is designed to address environmental concerns by limiting waste generated from these disposable products. If passed, customers may need to specifically request these items when placing their orders. The bill highlights the growing movement towards sustainability and responsible consumption in the food industry, which could impact both consumers and businesses in El Paso and beyond.
