Seattle on Sunday became the first major U.S. city to ban plastic straws and utensils.
The full ban went into effect on July 1, a decade after the city first introduced a measure requiring restaurants to use only recyclable and compostable materials.
Plastic straws and utensils were originally exempt from the ban because of a lack of viable compostable alternatives.
