Overview
This bill seeks to permanently exempt certain types of polystyrene foam food service products – including meat and fish trays and pre-packaged food items – from a New Jersey law that previously prohibited their sale and use. The exemption would be in effect for two years initially, with the possibility of extension by the Department of Environmental Protection if a suitable alternative isn't available. This aims to maintain the use of these products while potentially exploring alternative materials.
