Hawaii does not regulate plastic straws at the state level, but Maui County and other county ordinances restrict food vendors from automatically providing single-use plastic straws and stirrers to customers.
Plastic straw regulation in Hawaii is entirely a matter of county ordinance. Maui County's Title 20.25 includes plastic straws among prohibited disposable foodware items provided by food vendors after specified phase-in dates. Honolulu and Hawaii County ordinances on disposable foodware likewise apply to straws and utensils, often using an upon-request standard requiring vendors to provide straws only when customers ask. Kauai County addresses straws through county facility rules. Hawaii's legislature has discussed but not enacted a statewide straws-on-request or ban statute. Compliance for vendors generally requires switching to paper, compostable, or reusable alternatives and training staff to ask before providing straws.
County ordinance fines typically begin at $100 with escalation; repeat offenders may face permit consequences.
