Massachusetts H908 aims to reduce restaurant waste by limiting single-use food serviceware and condiments.

Massachusetts H908, titled "An Act to 'Skip the Stuff' to reduce restaurant waste," mandates that food service providers only offer single-use food serviceware and condiments upon customer request, with a $0.75 fee per transaction. New full-service restaurants must use reusable food serviceware for on-premise dining. Third-party food delivery platforms must provide options for single-use items and customize menus accordingly. The Department of Environmental Protection is tasked with educating restaurants and enforcing compliance, with fines used for a micro-grant program.
