Hawaii SB2205 aims to reduce plastic pollution by prohibiting the sale of beverages in single-use plastic containers with non-tethered caps.

Hawaii SB2205 addresses plastic pollution by targeting single-use plastic beverage containers and their caps. The bill prohibits the sale of beverages in containers with plastic caps that are not tethered to the container when removed. It also mandates that tethered caps must be made of the same plastic resin as the container. This measure aims to reduce the environmental impact of plastic waste, particularly in marine ecosystems, by preventing the detachment and subsequent pollution caused by plastic beverage caps.
