SUBJECT: VOLUNTARY PROGRAM TO REDUCE THE USE OF STYROFOAM AND PLASTIC BAGS

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

That the City Council adopt a Resolution entitled:

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DANA POINT, CALIFORNIA, IMPLEMENTING THE VOLUNTARY REDUCTION OF PLASTIC BAGS AND THE USE OF FOOD SERVICE ITEMS COMPRISED OF EXPANDABLE POLYSTYRENE (STYROFOAM) WITHIN LOCAL RESTAURANTS, RETAILERS, CITY FACILITIES, AND CITY-SPONSORED EVENTS

BACKGROUND:

Expandable Polystyrene Foam (Styrofoam)

Recently, Public Works Staff conducted a survey of 108 restaurants within Dana Point and inquired as to whether or not they used any form of non-recyclable plastics (Styrofoam or otherwise) for take out or to-go items (See Supporting Document B). Of those surveyed, 67 of the restaurants (62%) used some type of expandable polystyrene (more commonly known as Styrofoam) container.

Polystyrene foam is a petroleum based byproduct that is frequently used for food packaging purposes. This material is currently non-recyclable and non-biodegradable. Because of its inability to decompose, polystyrene foam waste is consuming an ever- increasing amount of space within landfill facilities. Moreover, polystyrene foam products are detrimental to the health, safety, and welfare of the general public, as well as to the ecosystem.

Plastic Bags

In the same assessment mentioned previously, 108 restaurants were surveyed on their use of bags for to-go items. Of those surveyed, 61 restaurants (57%) used plastic bags in their business.

Plastic bags are made of polyethylene, are non-biodegradable, and are made from crude oil and natural gas, both non-renewable resources. While they can be recycled, plastic bags are often improperly disposed of, and often make their way into storm drains and the ocean.

Local business organizations, such as the Dana Point Chamber of Commerce, have expressed interest in implementing a voluntary reduction on both expandable polystyrene and plastic bags. Because water quality is such an important issue within the City, the Chamber has offered to collaborate on education and outreach efforts to support such a program.

The proposed resolution would ask both restaurants and other local businesses to comply with a voluntary reduction on the use of plastic bags and food service containers made with expandable polystyrene foam (Styrofoam). This resolution promotes the use of biodegradable, compostable, or recyclable products to lessen the impact of litter, increase the life of local landfills, and help ensure the vitality of the Pacific Ocean.

DISCUSSION:

Effects of Plastic Bags and Expandable Polystyrene on Water Quality and Environment

Discarded food and beverage packaging constitutes a significant and growing portion of the City’s waste stream. Storm drains capture trash before it flows into the ocean, and the trash reduces the effectiveness of City storm drains. Retrofitting storm drains to better capture litter and trash would be cost prohibitive.

Man-made Debris that makes its way into the marine environment is a costly problem for Dana Point’s ocean-dependent economy. It threatens water quality and wildlife. When polystyrene foam debris breaks up, the pieces may be ingested by animals, often causing death. The California Coastal Commission estimates that more than one million sea birds, 100,000 marine mammals, and countless fish die each year from various forms of marine debris.

Because of the physical nature of polystyrene (i.e. floatability, breakability, large surface area), scientists are beginning to speculate about the role of polystyrene waste in contributing to other persistent, non-visible water pollution problems such as bacterial indicators. Deterioration in the quality of the ocean waters and beaches threatens public health and safety, as it negatively affects both tourism and the quality of life for Dana Point residents.

07/27/09 Page 3 Item #29

The California Coastal Commission estimates that hundreds of thousands of sea turtles, whales and other marine mammals die every year from eating discarded plastic bags mistaken for food. Turtles mistake the bags for jellyfish, their primary food source. Once swallowed, plastic bags choke animals or block their intestines, leading to death. Also, on land, animals suffer a similar fate to marine life when they accidentally ingest plastic bags while looking for food.

Litter

Polystyrene further contributes to urban blight as litter, especially due to its lightweight nature as it floats in water and/or is easily blown by the wind, even when disposed of properly. Similarly, plastic bags take up to 1,000 years to degrade. As litter, they breakdown into tiny fragments, contaminating soil and water. This problem is becoming increasingly difficult to manage and has costly negative implications for wildlife, aesthetics, tourism, and regulatory compliance.

Recycling

Polystyrene foam is not currently recyclable in Dana Point, as recycling of the material is cost prohibitive. Environmentally conscious cities that have found it necessary to implement polystyrene foam bans to address the issue including San Clemente, San Juan Capistrano, Laguna Beach, Santa Cruz, San Francisco, Santa Monica, Malibu, among others

While plastic bags can be recycled, most are discarded. The Environmental Protection Agency estimated that only 5.2% of the plastic bags and sacks in the municipal waste stream in 2005 were recycled, compared with 21 percent of paper bags.

Compliance

Food service containers are defined as single use disposable products used in the restaurant and food service industry for serving or transporting prepared, ready-to- consume food or beverages. This includes, but is not limited to, plates, bowls, cups, trays, and hinged or lidded containers. This does not include single use disposable items such as straws, cup lids, or utensils, nor does it include single use packaging for unprepared foods.

Traditionally food service providers have been reluctant to change from polystyrene foam and plastic bags because of the higher cost and limited selection and availability of biodegradable or recyclable products. However, there is an assortment of new options available including cutting edge products made from paper, sugarcane stalk, rice, potato starch, tapioca, or corn. If these containers end up as litter, they will break down and not become permanent blight on our landscape, or end up as long-lasting marine debris.

The City is actively seeking opportunities to reduce, reuse, and recycle in an effort to comply with California Integrated Waste Management Act (AB 939) requirements relating to the amount of land-filled waste. The City is mandated to meet AB 939 requiring that all 07/27/09 Page 4 Item #29

cities and counties in California divert fifty (50%) of discarded materials from entering landfills since December 31, 2000. By reducing dependence on polystyrene products within City facilities and by choosing products that may be reused or recycled, the City will not only move towards its compliance goals of AB 939, but also incorporate the principles of the City’s Green Policy.

CONCLUSION:

If the City Council authorizes the resolution on the voluntary reduction on plastic bags and food service items comprising expandable polystyrene, Staff will move forward on education and outreach programs targeted to local businesses.

It is expected the next steps will include: 1) using the existing business registration database to contact restaurants; 2) conducting an educational workshop on biodegradable, compostable, and recyclable products; and 3) working with the Chamber of Commerce and other local business organizations to promote the program.

NOTIFICATION/FOLLOW-UP

Staff will work with the Chamber of Commerce and other business groups on implementation and outreach efforts.

STRATEGIC PLAN IMPLEMENTATION:

The proposed resolution supports the following Strategic Plan Initiatives:

Strategic Plan Initiative I: “Restore and maintain the integrity of our ocean waters and beaches.”

Strategic Plan Initiative II: “Protect the health, safety, and welfare of our residents, businesses and visitors.”

Strategic Plan Initiative V: “Maintain, modernize, and beautify the City’s infrastructure and neighborhoods.”

FISCAL IMPACT:

Staff anticipates that no additional staff or funding will be needed to conduct outreach programs. Printed materials will be funded from the FY2010 public information budget.

Since the implementation of the City’s Green Policy on March 25, 2008, the City has taken steps to purchase environmentally-friendly recyclable or biodegradable containers, when economically feasible. Thus, no further costs will be incurred by the adoption of this resolution.

WHEREAS, the City of Dana Point has a duty to protect the natural environment for present and future generations; and

WHEREAS, there are currently more than 108 individual restaurants and food service businesses in Dana Point; and

WHEREAS, the litter problem resulting from expandable polystyrene is becoming increasingly difficult to manage and has costly negative implications for tourism, wildlife, aesthetics, and most recently, public storm drain systems; and

WHEREAS, expandable polystyrene, a petroleum based product that is frequently used for food service purposes, enters the various water bodies from both direct and indirect sources (such as storm conveyance systems), and negatively impacts the overall quality of ocean waters and adjacent beach areas; and

WHEREAS, expandable polystyrene does not effectively biodegrade in the environment, but merely breaks down into smaller particles that litter the City’s streets, parks, public places, open spaces, beaches and ocean: and

WHEREAS, a deterioration in the quality of the City’s ocean waters and beaches threatens public health, safety, and welfare and negatively affects tourism and the local economy which depends on tourist trade; and

WHEREAS, expandable polystyrene waste poses a risk to the fragile ecological balance, since marine and land wildlife often perish as a result of ingesting expandable polystyrene products; and

WHEREAS, expandable polystyrene contributes to urban blight as litter especially due to its lightweight nature as it floats in water and/or is easily blown in the wind; and

WHEREAS, expandable polystyrene food service products, by their nature, have a useful life that can be measured in minutes or hours, yet it takes several decades to hundreds of years to deteriorate in the environment or landfill; and

07/27/09 Page 7 Item #29

WHEREAS, the 1999-2000 Orange County Grand Jury report titled “The Rainy Season’s First Flush Hits the Harbors of Orange County” strongly recommended that the County of Orange and the cities within it institute a procedure to substantially reduce the use of expandable polystyrene within its jurisdiction; and

WHEREAS, the City of Dana Point is mandated to meet the California Integrated Waste Management Act (AB 939), which requires that all cities and counties in the State divert fifty percent of discarded materials by December 31, 2000, and ultimately, most single-use throwaway consumer and commercial plastic products; and

WHEREAS, there is currently no meaningful recycling of expandable polystyrene food service products, due in part to contamination from food residue; and

WHEREAS, alternative products, which are biodegradable, reusable and/or recyclable are readily available most often at reasonable cost; and

WHEREAS, the City of Dana Point desires to exercise environmental stewardship by reducing the amount of plastic bags and expandable polystyrene debris that enters the City’s storm drains, watershed, and coastal environment and reducing the amount of expandable polystyrene that enters our waste system.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Dana Point as follows:

SECTION 1. That the above recitations are true and correct and incorporated herein by reference.

SECTION 2. The City Council states its intention to reduce the use of plastic bags and expandable polystyrene in Dana Point.

PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED this __th day of July, 2009.

Styrofoam and Plastic Bag Summary

Styrofoam and Paper or Plastic? Summary City of Dana Point June 2009

108 restaurants were surveyed as to whether or not they used any form of non- recyclable plastics (Styrofoam or otherwise) for take-out or to-go items. They were also asked what types of bags (if any) they used—paper or plastic. Below is a summary of the data that may help provide insight on the effect of Styrofoam regulations or otherwise.

I. Bags: Paper vs. Plastic

Type of Bag # Rest. % Paper and Plastic 25 23.1% Plastic 61 56.5% Paper 15 13.9% Neither 7 6.5%

Bag Types Neither Paper and 6% Plastic Paper 23% 14%

Plastic 57%

As demonstrated by the numbers above, the majority of restaurants use some form of plastic bags. Restaurants that do not use plastic or paper either have some form of recyclable/biodegradable bag (that they either sell to the customer or give for free) or have no use for bags. See Appendix A for the complete list of restaurants and their bag usage.

07/27/09 Page 10 Item #29

II. Styrofoam Usage The following graphs and data are all taken from the master sheet, found at the end of this document. The analyses below look at the various ways Styrofoam is used throughout Dana Point. I classified Styrofoam into six categories or “Types”, which included: cups, small “clam shell” boxes, large “clam shell” boxes, plates, bowls, and other (different shapes, such as bowl containers for soup, etc.). Each was also classified into one of five categories: coffee/juice, deli/markets, fast food, pizza/sweets/desserts, and sit-down. I then asked each restaurant to describe the various types that they used.

A. Type of Styrofoam The following table shows the usage of each type of Styrofoam. Note that some restaurants overlap in the types of Styrofoam used, so percentages will add to more than 100%.

Type of Styrofoam # Rest. % Cups 47 43.5% Small Clam Shell 36 33.3% Large Clam Shell 45 41.7% Plates 4 3.7% Bowls 22 20.4% Other 10 9.3%

07/27/09 Page 11 Item #29

The most prominent types of Styrofoam containers are cups, small clam shell boxes, and large clam shell boxes. In most cases, the “other” included containers with lids (like larger bowls), soup containers, and other shaped clam-shell boxes. See Appendix B for a breakdown and list of restaurants that use each type of Styrofoam.

B. Styrofoam Usage by Number of Types of Styrofoam The same data from the master file was then organized to show the restaurants in order of the most “yes” responses – that is, it listed the restaurants that used five or more types of Styrofoam at the top, and descended accordingly.

# Types of Styrofoam Used # Rest. % None 41 38.0% 1 Type 20 18.5% 2 Types 13 12.0% 3 Types 22 20.4% 4 Types 8 7.4% 5 Types 4 3.7% 6 Types 0 0.0%

Number of Styrofoam Types 5 Types 4 Types 4% 7%

None 38% 3 Types 20%

2 Types 12% 1 Type 19%

07/27/09 Page 12 Item #29

No restaurant carries all six types of Styrofoam. Very few restaurants carry four or more types of Styrofoam, while a significant number of restaurants do not use any. Those that did not use Styrofoam containers said they used biodegradable or paper containers. The biggest deterrent from using eco-friendly containers is cost. Appendix C contains lists what restaurants used which types (if any) of Styrofoam.

C. Styrofoam Usage by Restaurant Category This last section shows the data organized by type of restaurant and the quantity of Styrofoam types (none to five types).

Coffee/Juice Deli/Markets Fast Food Pizza/Sweets/Desserts Sit Down None 7 5 6 6 17 1 Type 3 1 2 4 10 2 Types 1 2 1 1 8 3 Types 0 2 2 2 16 4 Types 0 1 0 1 6 5 Types 0 0 0 1 3 6 Types 0 0 0 0 0 % of Rest. 10.2% 10.2% 10.2% 13.9% 55.6%

Pizza/Sweets/Desserts

As seen above, sit-down restaurants should be our focus, as they comprise the largest category of restaurants in Dana Point – 55%. It is important to notice that, within the sit- down restaurants category, a large portion of restaurants do not use any Styrofoam products. To see the list of restaurants by category, see Appendix D.

07/27/09 Page 13 Item #29

III. Summary After surveying 108 of 111 eateries in Dana Point, we now have an idea of Styrofoam usage and how regulating its use may impact restaurants. 38% of restaurants in the City do not use any type of Styrofoam, and sit-down restaurants bear the burden of most Styrofoam use because they are the most in number. The most effective way of reducing Styrofoam usage might be to target sit-down restaurants and promote/provide alternatives to non-recyclable plastics.
