A brief description of the single-use disposable plastics that have been banned or eliminated:

The City of Coral Gables' ban on Plastic Bags and Polystyrene was repealed in court in 2019, but the University of Miami decided to make this policy its own. The University of Miami has eliminated the use of polystyrene, plastic bags, and plastic coffee stirrers across all campuses. This policy is enforced by the Department of Procurement.
