Summary

The Colorado Legislature is considering Bill SB26-146, which aims to restrict the distribution of single-use food serviceware. The bill is currently in the 'Under Consideration' stage and has been introduced in the Senate. If passed, it would introduce new regulations concerning disposable food packaging.

What changed

Colorado Bill SB26-146, introduced for the 2026 Regular Session, proposes to restrict the distribution of single-use food serviceware. The bill is sponsored by Senator Lisa Cutter and Representative Meg Froelich and has been assigned to the Senate Health & Human Services committee. As it is currently under consideration and has only been introduced, it represents a proposed regulation rather than a finalized rule.

If enacted, this bill would impose new compliance obligations on businesses involved in the distribution of food serviceware within Colorado. Companies would need to review their product lines and distribution practices to ensure compliance with the forthcoming restrictions. Further details on specific prohibitions, effective dates, and potential penalties will be available as the bill progresses through the legislative process.

What to do next

  1. Monitor the progress of Colorado Bill SB26-146 through the legislative process.
  2. Review current distribution practices for single-use food serviceware in Colorado.
  3. Prepare for potential changes in product offerings and supply chain management if the bill is enacted.
