Virginia state lawmakers gave final approval on a bill that will ban polystyrene food containers, sometimes known better by the brand name Styrofoam.
The bill was sponsored by Del. Betsy Carr, D-Richmond.
The ban will be phased in over four years. Larger businesses, with more than 20 locations, will have to stop using foam food containers by July 2023.
Smaller businesses will need to comply by July 2025.
