We're on a mission to create a world without waste!

Clean Water Action is working to reduce single-use waste due to its adverse impacts on our health, from creation to disposal. 

We have successfully banned single-use plastic bags and polystyrene in the Garden State. We're also working with local businesses, schools and communities to ReThink Disposable.

But more work must be done to protect our air, land and water from the excessive waste stream going to landfills and incinerators and harming our water and communities. 

Join us in taking action and fighting for policies that keep our waterways, streets, and oceans trash-free.

New Jersey Plastics Policies — Local and Statewide

Clean Water Action's ReThink Disposable program works to eliminate single-use plastic trash and other harmful chemicals. Plastic contains toxic chemicals linked to reproductive harm, cancer risk, metabolic disease, and other issues. We have spearheaded efforts to pass numerous local and statewide policies to protect our health and communities from harm. Learn more in our New Jersey Plastics Policies Fact Sheet:
