Two Democratic lawmakers are hoping that two weeks is enough time to pass a bill banning polystyrene food containers starting in 2024. “The dangers of (polystyrene) for the environment, for wildlife are well known,” Sen. Mike Foote, D-Longmont, told a Senate committee Monday night during his bill’s first hearing. “It’s well past time as a state that we move on to something else.” Senate Bill 243 doesn’t specify what kinds of takeout containers Colorado restaurants should use if the state bans polystyrene containers — commonly known by the brand name Styrofoam.
