What it does
The Farewell to Foam Act of 2025 would prohibit the sale, distribution, and offering for sale of expanded polystyrene food service ware, loose fill (packing peanuts), and coolers starting January 1, 2028. It applies to food service providers, manufacturers, distributors, and retailers, with enforcement by the EPA Administrator through written warnings for first violations and escalating civil penalties for repeat offenses, subject to revenue-based limits on penalty frequency. The bill also allows the EPA to authorize state enforcement and issue regulations to implement the ban.
