Ordinance Regulating Single-use Plastic and Expanded Polystyrene
Early Adopter Program Overview
The ordinance regulating single-use plastic and expanded polystyrene will require impacted businesses to make changes to their supplies. As such, the Early Adopter Program intends to help qualifying small food facilities transition their foodware by offering a one-month supply of compliant single-use articles, including containers, cutlery, and straws. The program has limited supplies. The ordinance prohibits food facilities from providing single-use articles for food service unless they are compostable or recyclable. A single-use article is any disposable foodware item used to serve, consume, transport, or contain food and beverages, including, but not limited to, containers, cups, lids, cutlery, straws, pizza boxes, and food trays.
