New York City to Implement New Restrictions on Utensils, Condiments, Napkins, and Extra Containers in Take Out Orders to Combat Waste and Climate Change
The Democrats have outdone themselves. After a recent series of policy initiatives targeting everyday appliances such as gas stoves, air conditioners, water heaters, dishwashers, and portable gas generators, the Democrat party have now shifted their focus towards reducing waste generated by utensils, condiments, napkins, and containers (UCNC) used in food service.
In their latest quest to save the planet from waste and climate change, Mayor Eric Adams signed a bill, Skip the Stuff, earlier this year, in relation to “restricting the provision of eating utensils, condiment packets, napkins and extra eating containers, and clarifying the definition of third-party courier service.”
The move is set to take effect on July 31, 2023, affecting food service establishments across New York City.
