Compostable Products Legislation
During the 2021 legislative session the MNCC worked with legislators, composters, product manufacturers, local units of government and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) to amend MN Stat. 325E.046 Standards for Labeling Plastics Bags to apply to food service products and other packaging claiming compostability. The bill was introduced this year but unfortunately, it did not pass. However, the bill carry's over to the 2022 legislative session and plans are being made to talk with those opposed to the bill to agree on language that resolves their issues.
