Summary
The bill changes California’s solid‑waste rules so that any product labeled “compostable” or “home compostable” must be certified by OK compost HOME or meet a standard set by the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery. It also bans such labeling for items that contain plastic after Jan. 1, 2027, and adds requirements for pre‑checkout bags. The changes aim to reduce contamination in the state’s compost stream and protect the market for high‑quality compost.
