Illinois Plastic Bag Recycling Task Force
The Illinois Plastic Bag Recycling Task Force was formed to raise consumer awareness about plastic bag recycling and its availability in Lake County.

Additionally the Task Force is responsible for producing a comprehensive report for the Illinois General Assembly detailing the costs and benefits of at-store plastic bag collection in Lake County, IL.

The City of Phoenix worked with the Arizona Food Marketing Alliance (AFMA) and retailers to develop consistent branding around plastic bag recycling.
