DSNY believes that a new study on single-use plastics, as proposed in Intro 695, is premature. The department cites recent progress made through the SkipTheStuff Act and ongoing waste characterization efforts.
- Enforcement of the SkipTheStuff Act (Local Law 17 of 2023) only began recently
- DSNY already studies single-use plastics as part of their waste characterization efforts
- For a broader impact analysis, DSNY suggests another agency might be better suited to lead the study
