Protect Implementation of the Puerto Rico Plastics Ban

In June of 2022, Puerto Rico passed Law 51, prohibiting the use,  sale, and distribution of single-use plastic in commercial places doing business in Puerto Rico, effective June 29, 2024. This was a huge win for protecting our land, beaches, and public health.

However, a new bill (PS 1374) will delay implementation until 2026, denying our environment, tourism, and health, a reprieve from single use plastic pollution.

The Rincon chapter and Surfrider Puerto Rico urge the senate to vote NO on PS1374.
