The Disposable Foodware Ordinance (Ordinance 19-30), previously known as Bill 40 begins its 1st phase of implementation on Jan 1, 2021. It applies across Oahu.


Speakers include:
-Nicole Chatterson, Executive Director of Zero Waste Oahu
-Henry Gabriel, Department of Environmental Services at the City & County of Honolulu
-Michelle Ching, Owner of Farm to Barn Cafe
-John Elkjer, Owner of Sustainable Island Products

Businesses will no longer be allowed to offer plastic forks, straws, and other serviceware. They will also be required to give these items (paper and compostable versions) away only upon request.

The ban on foam and plastic containers and cups and other items will go into effect on Jan 1, 2022.
