In the US, recent measures taken by state legislatures will result in changes in 2025 to the packaging used, distributed, or collected by restaurants, retail outlets, hotels, events, and state organisations.<\/p>\n

Updates to bottle bills and perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) regulations in certain states are also part of the upcoming adjustments.<\/p>\n

As of 1 January 2025, the state of California formally enforced Senate Bill (SB) 1046, a law passed in 2022, which mandates that stores within the region can only distribute pre-checkout bags \u2013 such as those for loose produce \u2013 if they are compostable or made from recycled paper.<\/p>\n

This move is expected to significantly reduce the environmental impact of plastic bag waste in the state.<\/p>\n

In Delaware, an update on 2023 legislation will see restaurants and other foodservice establishments prohibited from providing polystyrene foam containers for their food or beverages from 1 July this year.<\/p>\n

This legislation also extends to single-service items such as plastic coffee stirrers, cocktail picks, and sandwich picks.<\/p>\n
