据食品生产日报消息，纽约市长布隆伯格打算在其1月1日离任前发布发泡聚苯乙烯食品容器禁令。美国卫生及人类服务部已将聚苯乙烯加入可能致癌物列表。纽约市议会将于下周考虑该禁令。
部分原文报道如下：
Outgoing New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg is gunning for a ban on EPS food containers before he leaves office January 1.
Bloomberg's ban, first proposed in February 2013, would bar New York City restaurants from using expanded polystyrene （EPS） packaging for takeaway dishes.
While the material is popular with eateries for its low price tag and thermal properties, eco advocates claim the stuff is a bear to recycle. Most municipalities do not offer curbside recycling of the material.
