National Parks Waste Reduction: Phasing Out Disposable Plastic Products and Bottles.
This law establishes a program to significantly reduce disposable plastic products, including bottled water, sold within US National Parks. Visitors should plan to bring their own reusable containers, as the sale of plastic water bottles will be eliminated where feasible. The goal is to protect the natural environment and reduce waste while ensuring adequate access to water refill stations.
Key points
Elimination of the sale of water in disposable plastic bottles and other plastic products (bags, food ware, Styrofoam) in National Parks, where operationally feasible.
Parks must invest in water refill station infrastructure and implement visitor education strategies to encourage bringing reusable containers.
Park management must conduct biennial evaluations to assess public response, visitor safety (e.g., dehydration cases), and the effectiveness of waste reduction efforts.
