San Francisco is set to ban the sale or use of single-use food service ware made with perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs).
In early August, the California city’s mayor approved Ordinance 201-18, amending existing food service and packaging waste reduction laws.
The updated law will require single-use items used for prepared, takeout and leftover food – such as bowls, plates, trays, cups, lids, straws, utensils and napkins – to be 'fluorinated chemical free'.
It also covers single-use food service ware accessories, such as condiment packets, chopsticks, cup sleeves, napkins, stirrers and toothpicks.
Requirements to take effect from 1 January 2020.
MTS reminds related companies to timely follow up on new laws and regulations, produce and export according to requirements, and pay attention to the requirements of the declaration of conformity. Scientific safety assessments must be carried out during the product design phase to the bulk production phase to ensure that relevant products meet the new regulatory requirements and avoid export risk.
