Politicians in Deleware are pushing a proposal that could put schools, restaurants and businesses on the hook to pick up a costly tab.
If enacted, SB 51 will ban food establishments from providing ready-to-eat food to a consumer in polystyrene foam food packaging. This might seem minor, but this could:
- Force restaurants to spend thousands to replace their packaging with more expensive alternatives
- Prevent some restaurants from offering to-go services
- Force restaurants to lay off staff, cut hours or close their doors for good
- Lead to increased costs for Delaware consumers
Stand up for restaurants and the good that they do for your community. Tell your representative to vote “no” on SB 51!
