Farewell to Foam Act of 2025

Bans the sale and distribution of certain expanded polystyrene (foam) products nationwide starting January 1, 2028. It covers foam food-service ware used by food service providers, as well as foam loose fill (e.g., packing peanuts) and foam coolers sold by manufacturers, distributors, and retailers.

First violations receive a written notice. Repeat violations face civil penalties. The Administrator may let States enforce the rules if they meet federal requirements, and must limit how often penalties can be imposed on smaller businesses based on their annual revenue. The Administrator may issue regulations to carry out the Act.
