Are Plastic Straws Banned in Hawaii?
Honolulu leads the islands — food vendors can't hand out single-use plasticware, with steep fines.
Honolulu City Council took the lead to restrict food vendors from providing single-use plasticware like plastic straws beginning January 1, 2021. Businesses that will not comply with the law face fines of up to $1,000 per day, though exemptions may be granted if they won't be able to find plastic-free alternatives.
The islands of Hawaii are famous for their beaches so let's all hope that other cities will consider implementing the same measure.
