Re-evaluation of the Approved Food Service Packaging List
SB 1335 requires that CalRecycle re-evaluate the food service packaging items included on the List of Approved Food Service Packaging (List) at least once every five years to determine whether the items continue to meet applicable SB 1335 food service packaging criteria. CalRecycle completed its first re-evaluation of the List in October 2025, and the results are summarized in this email.
