Bill Summary

CONCERNING STANDARDS FOR PRODUCTS REPRESENTED AS COMPOSTABLE IN THE STATE, AND, IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, MAKING AN APPROPRIATION.

AI Summary

This bill establishes standards for products represented as compostable in the state of Colorado. It defines key terms, such as "certified compostable," "compostable," and "food service product," and sets labeling requirements for products represented as compostable to ensure they are easily identifiable. The bill also prohibits the marketing and advertising of non-compostable products using language or imagery that could mislead consumers into believing the products are compostable. Additionally, the bill requires producers to provide information demonstrating compliance with the new standards upon request and encourages producers to provide information to commercial composting facilities about the composting conditions their products have been tested for. The bill appropriates $26,250 to the Department of Public Health and Environment to implement the new requirements.
