WASHINGTON — The American Forest & 纸 Association (十大菠菜软件) President and CEO Heidi Brock issued the following statement regarding the passage of New Jersey’s 纸 Bag Ban (NJ Senate Bill 864 / Assembly Bill 1978):

“The American Forest & 纸 Association opposes bans on paper products and urges Governor Phil Murphy to issue a conditional veto that removes paper from New Jersey’s bag ban. In voting to become the first and only state in the nation to ban paper bags, the New Jersey Legislature has undermined an environmentally responsible option for consumers. Furthermore, the ban on paper bags sends an alarming message in devaluing family wage jobs, which are often union labor, in addition to the indirect jobs supported by the paper and wood products industry in the state.

“纸 is part of the environmental solution, but New Jersey is treating it like the problem. Governor Murphy should take action to ensure continued consumer access to a recyclable, reusable and compostable product — the paper bag.”
