What it does
The Farewell to Foam Act of 2025 would ban the sale, distribution, and offering for sale of expanded polystyrene food service ware, loose fill (packing peanuts), and coolers starting January 1, 2028. The ban applies to food service providers, manufacturers, distributors, and retailers, with enforcement by the Environmental Protection Agency through written warnings for first violations and escalating civil penalties for repeat offenses, scaled by business size. The bill excludes expanded polystyrene containers used for drugs, medical devices, or biological products from the cooler definition.
