87% of Washington Voters Support State Policies That Reduce Single-Use Plastic
In March 2023, Oceana released a Washington statewide poll (link to results below) finding that 87% of Washington voters support local and state policies that reduce single-use plastic. The vast majority of voters (76%) support policies that reduce the use of plastic hotel bottles for shampoo, conditioner, and body wash (so they can be replaced with refillable bottles in the hotel).
Also included among the findings: 92% are concerned about single-use plastic products; 91% say they concerned about plastic pollution and its impact on the environment and our oceans; and 87% support requiring companies to reduce single-use plastic packaging and foodware.
The poll, conducted by the nonpartisan polling company Ipsos, surveyed roughly 414 adults in Washington between Dec. 12 and 19, 2022.
