Illinois SB0132 aims to reduce plastic bottle caps by banning single-use plastic beverage containers with plastic caps starting January 1, 2029.

The Plastic Bottle Cap Reduction Act prohibits manufacturers from selling, offering for sale, or distributing for sale in Illinois single-use plastic beverage containers with plastic caps unless the caps are made from the same plastic resin as the container. This applies to beverages in plastic containers of 16 ounces or less, excluding those with plastic seals, open or reusable containers, or those produced by small manufacturers. The Environmental Protection Agency can request compliance information from manufacturers, and violations carry a civil penalty of $1,000 per violation per day.
