AI Summary
This bill aims to significantly reduce the use of single-use plastic packaging and expanded or extruded polystyrene in e-commerce shipping. It requires e-commerce shippers with over $15 million in annual sales and more than 100 employees to reduce the total weight and number of units of e-commerce plastic packaging and expanded/extruded polystyrene used to ship products in or into California by specified percentages by 2030. The bill also prohibits manufacturers, retailers, and distributors from using expanded or extruded polystyrene to package or transport products sold and shipped in or into California, with some exceptions. The bill establishes civil penalties for violations and creates a Plastic Packaging Reduction Penalty Account for enforcement by the Attorney General.
