California SB 54 phases out expanded polystyrene foam foodware statewide by 2030; some San Bernardino communities have earlier local bans on takeout containers and packing peanuts.
California Senate Bill 54, the Plastic Pollution Prevention and Packaging Producer Responsibility Act, requires expanded polystyrene foodware producers to demonstrate 25 percent recycling rates by 2025 or face statewide sales prohibitions. SB 54 also targets a 65 percent reduction in single-use plastic packaging by 2032. Unincorporated San Bernardino County does not currently impose a local foam ban beyond state law, but operators near Joshua Tree National Park and the Marine base use compostable alternatives voluntarily. Cities such as San Bernardino and Redlands are evaluating their own restrictions on foam takeout clamshells.
Producers failing SB 54 recycling thresholds lose the right to sell foam foodware in California. Local violations can yield civil penalties of up to 1000 dollars per offense.
