食品伙伴網訊 據食品生產日報消息，紐約市長布隆伯格打算在其1月1日離任前發(fā)布發(fā)泡聚苯乙烯食品容器禁令。美國衛(wèi)生及人類服務部已將聚苯乙烯加入可能致癌物列表。紐約市議會將于下周考慮該禁令。

    部分原文報道如下：

    Outgoing New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg is gunning for a ban on EPS food containers before he leaves office January 1.

    Bloomberg's ban, first proposed in February 2013, would bar New York City restaurants from using expanded polystyrene （EPS） packaging for takeaway dishes.

    While the material is popular with eateries for its low price tag and thermal properties, eco advocates claim the stuff is a bear to recycle. Most municipalities do not offer curbside recycling of the material.
