New Disposables Ordinance

新塑料法生效

The Disposable Foodware Accessories on Request Ordinance (187030) restricting the use of disposable products in food service went into effect on November 15, 2021, and affected food and beverage facilities that utilize third party ordering platforms in Los Angeles with more than 26 employees. On April 22, 2022, all other food and beverage facilities in Los Angeles must also comply with the ordinance.

Under this ordinance, food or beverage facilities may provide disposable foodware accessories and condiment packets to a dine-in or take-out customer ONLY if the customer requests them. Food or beverage facilities may not automatically provide disposable foodware accessories to drive-through or delivery customers, but may ask those customers if they want one.

Merchants using online ordering platforms or third party delivery services with online ordering must include an “opt-in” feature for the inclusion of disposable single use foodware. Unless customers opt-in to receive disposables, merchants shall not provide disposable utensils with the customers’ orders.

對使用一次性餐具的限制條例(187030)於2021年11月15日生效。受到影響的洛杉磯商家是使用第三方訂購平台提供餐飲並擁有超過26名員工的餐飲設施。而在2022年4月22日,洛杉磯所有餐飲設施也需要遵守該條例。

根據該條例,餐飲設施只有在顧客要求時才可向堂食或外賣顧客提供一次性餐具和調味包。餐飲設施不可自動向免下車或餐飲配送客戶提供一次性餐具,但可詢問這些客戶是否需要餐具。

商家如使用在線訂購平台或使用第三方在線訂購平台餐飲配送服務,必需在訂單上提供一個“加入”的選項,讓顧客在下單時可在其訂單要求一次性餐具。商家不能向任何未選擇“加入”的客戶提供一次性餐具。
