Zero Waste for New Jersey

We're on a mission to create a world without waste!

Clean Water Action is working to reduce single-use waste due to its adverse impacts on our health, from creation to disposal.

In New Jersey, we have successfully banned single-use plastic bags and polystyrene and passed on of the strongest Skip the Stuff laws in the country. We're also working with local businesses, schools and communities to stop trash before it starts through our ReThink Disposable program.

But more work must be done to protect our air, land and water from the excessive waste stream going to landfills and incinerators and harming our water and communities.

Join us in taking action and fighting for policies that keep our waterways, streets, and oceans trash-free.

Clean Water Action's ReThink Disposable program works to eliminate single-use plastic trash and other harmful chemicals. Plastic contains toxic chemicals linked to reproductive harm, cancer risk, metabolic disease, and other issues. We have spearheaded efforts to pass numerous local and statewide policies to protect our health and communities from harm. Learn more in our New Jersey Plastics Policies Fact Sheet:
