A statewide law aimed at cracking down on single-use plastics is already facing backlash from both environmental groups and the packaging industry, with critics warning newly approved regulations may have created “huge loopholes” that undercut the intent of the landmark measure. Just days after California’s long-awaited rules officially took effect, environmental advocates announced plans to challenge the regulations in court, arguing that the changes inserted by state regulators weaken protections that lawmakers originally promised, the Los Angeles Times reported. Environmental groups backing the legal threat include the Sacramento-based organization Californians Against Waste and the Natural Resources Defense Council.
