Solid waste: compostable products: regulations.

Existing law prohibits a person from selling or offering for sale a product, as defined, that is labeled with the term "compostable" or "home compostable" unless, among others, the product is labeled in a manner that distinguishes the product from a noncompostable product upon reasonable inspection by consumers and to help enable efficient processing by solid waste processing facilities. Existing law authorizes the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery to adopt regulations for determining whether products comply with this requirement. This bill would instead require the department to adopt regulations for determining whether products comply with this requirement.
