AB 1812: Solid waste: compostable products.
This bill amends existing law to regulate compostable products sold in the state. It prohibits the sale of products labeled as "compostable" or "home compostable" unless they meet either the Ok Compost Home certification or a standard adopted by the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery. The bill also repeals the requirement for the Department to review revisions to the ASTM standard specification and authorizes it to adopt an existing standard different from ASTM if it is recognized by the Department. Additionally, the bill exempts fiber products that do not contain plastics or polymers from labeling requirements, unless the Department adopts a standard for compostable fiber products. Starting January 1, 2027, the sale of products labeled as "compostable" or "home compostable" that are made wholly or partially of plastic is prohibited.
