09 Feb 2024 --- New York City, US, lawmakers propose the Pods Are Plastic Bill, which, if passed, would make it unlawful for any person or entity to sell or distribute any laundry or dishwasher detergent pods and sheets containing polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). The bill was brought forward by NYC Council Member James Gennaro and supported by Blueland and Beyond Plastics. Blueland sells household cleaning and personal care products with refill tablets or powder formulas. The cleaning solutions activate when combined with tap water.
