New compostable product labeling law goes into effect Jan. 1, 2025
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency would like to inform you of a new law going into effect on Jan. 1, 2025, that regulates the sale of certain products labeled as “compostable” in Minnesota. The law, Minn. Stat. § 325E.046, requires all covered products that are labeled as “compostable” and sold in Minnesota to meet certain requirements. They must be made only of wood or paper with no additives or coatings or meet specifications for composting in an industrial compost facility.

Starting Jan. 1, 2025, manufacturers, distributors, and wholesalers may not sell or offer for sale covered products that do not comply with the law. Other entities may not knowingly sell or offer for sale covered products that do not comply with the law.
