Resumen

This chapter of the Maine Revised Statutes concerns nondegradable food and beverage containers. It provides a food service providing or serving individual portions of food or a beverage at a facility or function of the State or of a political subdivision may not provide or serve those portions in or on containers that are composed in whole or in part of polystyrene foam plastic, unless the food service recycles the containers following use. Further, a food service providing or serving a beverage at a facility or function of the State or of a political subdivision shall not provide beverage stirrers that are composed of plastic. For the purposes of this subsection, the term, "beverage stirrer," is a device which is designed solely for the purpose of mixing liquids intended for internal human consumption in single serving containers.
