S.F. closer to banning Styrofoam and other polystyrene products in restaurants
SAN FRANCISCO San Francisco officials are a step closer to banning the use of Styrofoam and other polystyrene products in city restaurants.
A Board of Supervisors committee approved legislation yesterday that would forbid the use of the products in city restaurants by June of next year.
Manufacturing styrofoam requires the use of polluting chemicals. Polystyrene is blamed for filling up landfills because it doesn't decompose.
The full Board of Supervisors will vote next week on the issue.
A number of other cities in California and around the country already ban the materials.
