About the Break Free From Plastic Pollution Act (BFFPPA)
The BFFPPA is the most comprehensive bill ever introduced in Congress to address the plastic crisis. The BFFPPA builds upon state and local laws across the country, outlining plastic reduction strategies to improve the health of people and the planet. It would (1) reduce plastic production before it ever has a chance to pollute, (2) increase recycling rates, and (3) protect frontline and fenceline communities from the burden of plastic waste.

Acerca de la Ley de Liberarse de la Contaminación Plástica (BFFPPA)
La BFFPPA es el proyecto de ley más completo jamás presentado en el Congreso para abordar la crisis del plástico. La BFFPPA se basa en las leyes estatales y locales de todo el país, y describe estrategias de reducción de plástico para mejorar la salud de las personas y el planeta. (1) reduciría la producción de plástico antes de que tenga la oportunidad de contaminar, (2) aumentaría las tasas de reciclaje y (3) protegería a las comunidades de primera línea y de la cerca de la carga de los desechos plásticos.
