Illinois HB1087 bans polystyrene foam disposable food service containers in schools starting in 2027.
HB1087 amends the School Code to prohibit school districts from procuring disposable food service containers made from polystyrene foam after January 1, 2027. Vendors contracted through school districts must also cease providing such containers after January 1, 2028 or at the renewal of their next contract, whichever is later. The bill defines "disposable food service container" and "polystyrene foam" and requires the use of compostable or recyclable foodware instead.
