Congressman and his wife plead not guilty to campaign spending charges, Kroger to phase out plastic bags, and more.

"As part of our Zero Hunger | Zero Waste commitment, we are phasing out use-once, throw-it-away plastic bags and transitioning to reusable bags in our stores by 2025."

Chile's Constitutional Court ratified a bill that bans plastic bags across the country after rejecting an appeal from the plastics industry.

“It’s a fantastic first step to a larger zero-waste mentality.”

The exemption that allowed restaurants to dispense plastics is set to expire and will not be renewed.

Other states that have banned local plastic bag ordinances include Wisconsin, Idaho, Florida and Arizona.

Meanwhile, the two states that have actually passed plastic bags bans are facing hurdles.
