Are Plastic Straws Banned in Maryland?
No statewide ban yet — but three Maryland counties already restrict plastic straws.
A statewide Plastic Straw Ban is currently not implemented in the state of Maryland but several counties have taken action including:
- Prince George's County — CB-52-2019, effective July 1, 2020
- Montgomery County — Council Bill 32-20, effective May 1, 2021
- Takoma Park — Ordinance 2019-5, effective January 1, 2020
Several states have already banned plastic straws; it might be just a matter of time before a statewide ban also gets implemented in Maryland. Plastic straw usage has already taken its toll on our environment. We all can do our part to reduce plastic waste and protect the environment by switching from plastic straws to an organic alternative like imPASTA.
What Makes imPASTA a Great Alternative to Plastic Straws?
A premium straw that stays firm, never goes soggy, and keeps you compliant.
It's a premium straw that stays hard and will never crack through any of your drinks — surely something you and your guests would love and enjoy at home or in the restaurant!
Definitely better than any other plastic straw alternatives out there!

FAQs
Maryland plastic straw ban
Not yet. As of this writing Maryland has no statewide plastic straw ban, but several counties have passed their own restrictions — and a statewide measure may follow.
Prince George's County (CB-52-2019, effective July 1, 2020), Montgomery County (Council Bill 32-20, effective May 1, 2021), and Takoma Park (Ordinance 2019-5, effective January 1, 2020).
imPASTA straws are plant-based, gluten-free, vegan and compostable, and stay firm for 2+ hours without going soggy — a premium, compliant swap for restaurants, bars and cafes in counties with a ban.
