Description of banned product:

Single-use plastic produce bags are unsealed plastic bags that are provided by the store or retailer to pack fresh fruits and vegetables at a place of purchase.
This ban includes single-use plastic produce bags made of:
• recyclable plastic
• biodegradable plastic
• plant-based or compostable plastic.

What’s not included:

The regulations do not ban single-use plastic bags if they are part of the packaging for pre-packaged produce.

Pre-packaged means fruit or vegetables that are bagged (sealed or not sealed) before being put on sale.

On this basis, the ban does not include a plastic bag that is or forms an integral part of, the packaging. Examples include pre-packaged mesclun lettuce, a sealed bag of apples, a sealed bag of potatoes or sugar snap peas, leafy greens and herbs in a plastic sleeve, or bagged lettuce.
