REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH TO CONDUCT A STUDY ON RECYCLABLE, BIODEGRADABLE, AND COMPOSTABLE LABELING IN THE STATE TO DETERMINE IF THE LABELING IS ACCURATE AND NON-DECEPTIVE.

Summary

The resolution asks the state Department of Health to examine products sold in Hawaii that carry recycling, biodegradable or compostable claims and determine if those claims are correct and not deceptive. It would look at consumer expectations, labeling standards, and the actual ability of local recycling and composting facilities to handle those items. The findings must be reported to the Legislature before the 2027 regular session.
