Published Jul 28, 2026, 6:00 AM ASTvia The Weekly Journal

Why this matters: For Puerto Rico, full implementation of the Single Use Plastics Act would reduce plastic waste and promote a cleaner environment for the island’s communities and ecosystems.

The Single Use Plastics Act in Puerto Rico remains in effect, although the ban on single-use plastics has not yet fully taken effect. Authorities are working on final recommendations to allow for the definitive implementation of this environmental policy.

The legislation is still underway, with the goal of fully implementing the ban on single-use plastics in Puerto Rico.
