New Jersey Packaging Regulations — What You Need to Know

New Jersey has among the most active single-use packaging legislation in the region, and compliance is a real and present concern for food service operators.

New Jersey Statewide Plastic Bag and Polystyrene Ban (Effective 2022): New Jersey’s law bans single-use plastic carryout bags and polystyrene foam food service products at stores and food service businesses. It also bans single-use paper carryout bags at grocery stores 2,500 square feet or larger. This is one of the strongest statewide packaging laws in the country.

New Jersey "Skip the Stuff" Law: As of 2026, New Jersey's Skip the Stuff regulations require food service businesses to provide single-use items — including utensils, napkins, straws, and condiment packets — only upon customer request, not automatically included with every order. This applies to dine-in, takeout, and delivery. Violations can result in fines. Green Pond Packaging supplies compostable versions of all affected items, and our products are ideal for businesses building a compliant, on-request dispensing model.

What to do: If you are a New Jersey restaurant, café, or food delivery operator, you should be sourcing compostable or recyclable utensils, cups, and containers — and only providing them on request. All products from Green Pond Packaging are certified compostable and are free from added PFAS, meeting the standards expected by NJ regulators and composting facilities.
