Single-Use Plastic Bag Survey for Businesses Whitemarsh Township

The purpose of this survey is to collect information for the township to help businesses move away from the distribution of single use plastic bags. 

There are a number of reasons the township is considering restricting the distribution of single use plastic bags. Most available recycling machinery can’t handle plastic bags, it’s difficult to get usable material from the bags, and there is very little market for post-consumer plastic as new material is cheaper. As a result nearly all end up as litter, water pollution, air pollution, or sitting for hundreds of years in landfills[1]. 

Like Philadelphia, Whitemarsh Township and neighboring townships will be enacting ordinances that will limit the use of single-use plastic bags that are not intended to be reused. Thank you for taking the time to provide us with valuable feedback as we make improvements to Whitemarsh Township.  We appreciate your support.
