Yes
A brief description of the single-use disposable plastics that have been banned or eliminated:
SFSU banned plastics bags and styrofoam in 2010. Then, in 2018 the entire CSU system created a single use plastic policy stating:
"Campuses shall establish purchasing practices that assure, to the maximum extent economically feasible, the purchase of single-use plastics including plastic straws, plastic water bottles, and plastic bags are eliminated.
Purchase preference shall be given to reusable products, followed by locally compostable and/or recyclable products. Procurement, auxiliaries, and all relevant stakeholders will work with campus sustainability staff to assess and select the most sustainable alternatives."
