Eastern Monmouth Area Chamber Of Commerce: Bag Up NJ: 10/18/2021

Press release from the Eastern Monmouth Area Chamber of Commerce:

October 18, 2021

Since Governor Murphy signed the Plastic Ban earlier this year, the New Jersey Business Action Center has been working with the New Jersey Clean Communities Council (NJCCC), the New Jersey Food Council, and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection to develop a statewide education campaign related to the upcoming ban on paper and plastic bags beginning May 4, 2022.
 
The NJCCC has created a number of communication materials that can be used by all impacted businesses. They can be easily downloaded from the project website, BagUpNJ.com.  The website is designed as a statewide educational tool, with the latest information on the legislation as well as relevant media coverage and press releases that help educate the public.  All promotional material is “open source” and can be used by your company and others who are interested in sharing the message with the public.
 
Moreover, many of these items can be personalized with your logo by reaching out to the NJCCC at njccc@njclean.org. All art is prepared in high resolution and can be downloaded here. The materials, to date, include:
 

• The Bag Up NJ logo
• Social media artwork
• Banner art for third-party websites
• Sandwich board sign artwork
• Clings for enter/exit doors/partitions in grocery/convenient stores
• A informational flyer for the public outlining NJ’s single-use plastic law
• A business flyer from the New Jersey Business Action Center (in both English and Spanish)
• A public service announcement to be used in stores
• “Skip the Straw” flyers, encouraging customers not to use plastic straws beginning Nov. 4

 
Thank you for your effort to spread the message to NJ consumers so they are prepared for this significant change in the shopping experience in May 2022.
