In an effort to cut back on the 300 tons of single-use food ware items tossed out by residents and businesses each year, the Cupertino City Council is considering banning single-use plastics at food service establishments as soon as next summer.

The proposed law, which could go into effect June 2023, would follow the lead of neighboring cities like Mountain View and Palo Alto by banning plastics straws, utensils, containers and drink stirrers at local eateries. Instead, residents would have to use alternatives, such as paper, wood, aluminum, bamboo or other fiber-based compostables.
