Massachusetts H914 establishes fees for single-use disposable food containers to reduce waste and promote reusable food serviceware.

Massachusetts H914 introduces fees for single-use disposable food containers to address the significant waste and environmental impact caused by food and beverage packaging. The act mandates that food service providers charge a fee for each disposable container used, with the funds directed towards the Clean Environment Fund. This fund supports recycling, composting, solid waste reduction, and environmental protection programs. New full-service restaurants must use reusable food serviceware for on-premise dining.
