Requesting a study on recyclable, biodegradable, and compostable labeling in Hawaii to ensure accuracy and non-deception.

The bill requests the Department of Health to conduct a study on recyclable, biodegradable, and compostable labeling in Hawaii. The study will assess products with such labels, review existing standards, and analyze gaps between consumer expectations and actual recycling and composting capabilities. It aims to determine if the labeling is accurate and non-deceptive, and will provide recommendations for clearer labeling standards. The findings and recommendations will be submitted to the Legislature before the 2027 Regular Session.
