California Senate Bill 54 phases out expanded polystyrene foodware statewide by 2025 unless 25 percent recycling targets are met, applying to food facilities in Riverside County.
Public Resources Code section 42041 et seq. (SB 54, the Plastic Pollution Prevention and Packaging Producer Responsibility Act) requires expanded polystyrene foodware producers to demonstrate 25 percent recycling rates by 2025 or stop sales in California. CalRecycle confirmed the 25 percent threshold was not met, triggering the prohibition on EPS foodware sales. Riverside County does not have a separate local foam ban in unincorporated areas but enforces the state restriction. Restaurants must transition to compliant alternatives such as paper, fiber, or aluminum containers. Some Coachella Valley cities have their own bans predating SB 54.
Selling or distributing EPS foodware after the trigger date: civil penalties under CalRecycle enforcement, daily fines.
