The American Progressive Bag Alliance (APBA), founded in 2005, is a group of American plastic bag manufacturers and related companies who lobby against plastic bag bans or fees.[1] The organization is currently part of SPI, the plastics industry trade association. From 2007-2011, it was known as the Progressive Bag Affiliates (PBA) when it part of the American Chemistry Council.[2]
Activities
In California, APBA spent 3 million dollars in 2014 organizing a petition against the statewide ban on plastic bags in grocery stores passed by the state legislature. The petition collected 800,000 signatures, halting the ban until 2016 when the law will be put to referendum.[3]
