- Half of Philly businesses aren’t complying with plastic bag laws, report says
A report by PennEnvironment Research & Policy Center found that 20% of Philadelphia businesses still offer plastic bags, and over half do not comply with the 10-cent fee for paper or reusable bags, despite the city's 2021 plastic bag ban. The law aims to reduce waste and encourage reusable bags, but many businesses remain unaware of the requirements.
