• MEMORANDUM
TO: Advisory Committee Members and Interested Parties
FROM: Sheldon Strom and Scott Graves
SUBJECT: Recommendations on Environmentally Acceptable Packaging
DATE: February 5, 1990
Enclosed is the final draft of the recommendations of the Advisory Committee in
environmentally acce�table packaging. The recommendations will be formally presented
to the Minneapolis City Council on:
February Sth
10:00 a.m.
Transportation & Public Works Committee
Room 319, City Hall
The recommendation will be formally presented to the St. Paul City Council later this
month or early in March. We will notify you of the date and time when it is set.
Clirt Johnson will be presenting the recommendations to the City's but all Committee
• members are welcome to attend.
It has been a long process but I think your effort has been very worthwhile. The
Committee's recommendations are excellent and will help insure a practical and sensitive
implementation of the ordinance. We have worked with dozens of advisory committees
over the years and this one is clearly the best. The subcommittee in particular was terri�c
and we all realize that G�irt Johnson was the best chair possible.
Thanks for all your hard work.

Introduction
•
The following guidelines are presented by the Advisory Committee
to the Commissioner of Health of the City of Minneapolis and the
Director of the Division of Public Health of the City of St. Paul for
development of rules and regulations to carry out the purposes of Title
10, Chapter 204 of the Minneapolis Code of Ordinances and Chapter 236 of
the St. Paul Legislative Code:
Regulation consists of two elements:
(1) Rules
(2) Enforcement of rules
Rules should be specific, clear, as unambiguous as possible and
apply to all matters covered. As little question as possible should be
involved in their interpretation. Enforcement involves discretion, based
on such factors as resources, priorities and effects on the parties
concerned.
We believe that these two elements are sufficiently different that
they should be discussed separately. Therefore, Chapter 1 is concerned
• with guidelines for rules, while Chapter 2 is concerned with guidelines
for the enforcement of these rules.
•

Guidelines for Rules •
I. Prohibitions
Unless exempted, all packaging used for food sold at retail must
be "environmentally acceptable packaging".
Packaging that is not exempted or does not conform to the
definition of "environmentally acceptable packaging , as defined in the
Ordinance, shall thereafter be referred to as "environmentally
unacceptable packaging" in further proceedings under the Ordinances.
II. Notification
The Health Commissioner/�irector, upon detPrmining that a retailer
is sell�ng a food product at retail whieh uti� izes environmentally
unacceptable packaging, may notify that retailer of the situation by
means of an Order indicating the specific package or packages involved
and the grounds for believing that the package(s) designated is
"environmentally unacceptable and request that a response to the Order
be made within a time period specified by the Health Department. The
Advisory Committee suggests 30 to 60 days. ,
III Identification of Packaaes
Identification of packages in the application and enforcement of
the Ordinances shall be by UPC Product Code as shown on the labeling of
the unit of which the package is a part, if present. Otherwise,
identification of the package shall be by use of the
retailer/manufacturer/distributor's product identification code or other
designation should no such code be present.
IV. Exemptions
- Four types of Categorical Exemptions are provided by the
Ordinances:
(a) Any flexible packaging of 10 mils or less in thickness.
(b) Any packaging used in hospitals or nursing homes.
(c) Any paper, cellophane, or other cellulose-based packaging
that is coated with plastic.
(d) Packaging for which there is no "commercially available" •
"environmentally acceptable" alternative.
2
� � . @�-�a-s��i
�
• (Note that in both ordinances a package is defined in terms of its
various parts. Thus an "environmentally acceptable" paper wrapper
enclosing a plastic container and lid does not make the container
and lid "environmentally acceptable".)
A fifth type of exemption is proposed, based on the authority
given the Commissioner in the section of the Ordinance covering Rules
and Regulations:
(e) An Exemption may be issued for a limited time (less than one year)
when, in the judgement of the Commissioner/Director, more time is
needed.
No definition of "commercially available" is given in the
Ordinance. The following definition is proposed:
A "commercially available" package is one which
(1) Has previously been used for the same product, or the
like, or,
(2) Is currently being used for the same product, or the
like, or,
(3) Is offered for sale by an established packaging material
supplier for the packaging of the same product or the like,
• and,
(4) Is available for purchase and use in place of the
package cited as "environmentally unacceptable".
V. Response to Package Order
The retailer/manufacturer/distributor of a package described in an
Order as "environmentally unacceptable" may make one of the following
responses if they wish to continue using the retail distribution system
for the sale of that package:
(a) Decide that the judgment of the Commissioner/Director in
determining that the package(s) described in the Order are
"environmentally unacceptable" is in error, present reasons for
believing that this is so and request a� Exemption until the issue
is resolved.
(b) Decide to change to an "environmentally acceptable package",
. provide the Commissioner/Director with a plan and timetable for
implementing such a change, and request an Exemption to cover the
time period required.
(c) Assert that no suitable "commercially available° -
"environmentally acceptable" package alternative exists for the
• package cited and request� an Exemption. - '

'. :,
(d) Assert that the use of any possible "commercially available" •
"environmentally acceptable" package alternative for the package
covered by the Order will cause undue harm to the
retailer/manufacturer/distributor, the public or other persons in
terms of harmful competitive effects and economic costs; and
request an Exemption.
(e) Assert that study is needed to determine which response to
make and request an Exemption.
A careful analysis of the question of who must and who may respond
to an Order turns what appears on the surface to be a simple matter into
a quite complex question. The retailer who receives an Order is
obligated to respond in some manner. However, a number of retailers
will receive Orders listing the same packages. On the other hand,
packages listed in the grocery sector will have only one
manufacturer/distributor (packages in the food service sector may have
more than one manufacturer/distributor), who will usually have a larger
stake in the outcome and is most likely to be better equipped to
respond.
The Advisory Committee recommends that the following procedure be
provided:
The manufacturer/distributor of a package covered in an Order
issued to any retailer may, at the option of the
manufacturer/distributor, assume responsibility for the response •
to an Order with respect to that package. If the
manufacturer/distributor so chooses, they must so notify the
Commissioner/Director who issued the Order and all retailers who
received an Order listing the package. By this action, the
obligation to respond is removed from the retailer.
The foregoing does not affect in any way a retailer's obligation to
cease sale at retail of any package actually banned by the
Commissioner/Director.
If option (c) or (d) is selected, the applicant shall provide
written support for the position taken to the Commissioner/Director
covering at least the following elements:
- (1) A detailed description of the search conducted.
(2) A full description of the data obtained.
(3) The criteria used in reaching the conclusion presented.
(4) A request for an Exemption for the package(s) involved. "
It is possible that some of tfie information needed for a response
under options (c) or (d) will be considered proprietary by the
responder. Should this be so, the responder may specifically identify �
such information and request that it be held confidential to the extent
possible under applicable Minnesota law.

�� � � �9�-y��
such information and request that it be held confidential to the extent
� possible under applicable Minnesota law.
(The Advisory Committee is not aware of the nature and details of such
law. We do request that the drafters of the actual rules and
regulations keep this problem in mind as they carry out their task. )
Given this information, the Health Commissioner/Director shall
provide notice and hearing covering the requested Exemptions and upon
completion of such hearing, issue such Categorical Exemptions as may be
necessary to carry out the purposes of the Ordinance. The
Commissioner/Director may issue exemptions subject to later confirmation
by notice and hearing.
The Advisory Committee believes that effective coordination
between governmental units is essential to the successful achievement of
the objectives of the Packaging Ordinances. The Committee recommends
that a joint powers or similar agreement be adopted by all
municipalities with similar ordinances.
All Exemptians issued shall be reviewed on an annual �asis and
notice and hearing si�all be provid2d covering the annual extension of
such Exemptions. Upon completion of such hearing, the
Commissioner/Oirector shall issue a one year extension for all
Exemptions deemed necessary to carry out the purposes of the Ordinances.

Enforcement of Rules �
I. Enforcement Principles
An essential factor in achieving the objectives of the Packaging
Ordinances is a clearly defined and fully accepted e�forcement strategy.
The Advisory Committee proposes that the enforcement strategy be based
on the following principles:
1. Food safety is a crucial consideration for food packaging.
2. Voluntary compliance is key to successful enforcement.
3. The purpose of enforcement is to cause change consistent with
the objectives of the Packaging Ordinances.
4. Enforcement should cause the most change of the most desired
kind with the least consumption of resources by the Health
Departments.
5. Exemptions are the single most powerful enforcement tool
available. They can be used to provide both time for those
affected to make changes in a well planned and organized manner
and to provide unrelenting pressure on them to do so. •
6. Control of the resources of the Health Department must remain
with the Commissioner/Director. The Heaith Department is a vital
community resource. Determination of prioriti2s of �he use of
this resource must remain with the Commissioner/Director.
7. local retailers should not be subjected to undue hardship as a
result of actions by sources of supply over which they have little
practical control .
II. Discussion
1. Food Safety
Assurance of food safety has historically come before any other
consideration in food packaging. If its food products are not safe for
consumption, a food company should not remain in business for very long.
2. Voluntary Compliance
In our society, voluntary compliance by those subject to
regulation is essential . Achieving voluntary compliance should be the
cornerstone of the enforcement strategy. For voluntary compliance to �
occur, the following must be true:
_�
6 /�
__.-%
/ -
.� � �90���/
(a) Rules must be widely and well understood
� (b) Rules must make sense to those regulated
(c) Enforcement must assure that no one gains an advantage by
deliberate non-compliance.
3. Objective of the Ordinances
The objective of the Packaging Ordinances is to minimize, through
the use of environmentally acceptable packaging, the amount of solid
waste generated by the community and to encourage a reusable, recyclable
and compostable waste stream for the volume remaining and so minimize
the use of land filling and incineration for disposal of solid waste.
4. Change Desired
The Ordinances define two types of change that result in
definitive solutians to the problem of environmentally unacceptable
packaging:
(a) Provide acceptable means of returning for reuse or recycling
the package used and thus convert that package into one that is
"environmentally acceptable".
, (b) Change the package to one that is currently "environmentally
acceptable".
Enforcement methodology should use both types of change to achieve
the largest possible improvement in the composition of the solid waste
stream. Changes to "exempted" packages should not be encouraged except
when an improvement in the composition of the solid waste stream
results. (Improvement being defined as changes that lead toward the
objectives of the ordinances)
The Committee feels stro�gly that recycling should be a major
strategy for addressing the issue of environmentally acceptable
packaging. In order to ensure rational , high quality recycling systems,
the Committee recommends periodic review of recycling systems which
- result in packages receiving Exemptions or achieving "environmentally
acceptable" status under the Ordinances. Furthermore, a review using
these same criteria should be conducted for all other recycling systems
and recycled materials. The review should include the following
criteria:
(1) Likely rate of participation
(2) Marketability of materials collected
(3) Cost of the program
(4) Recovery rate
•

5. Use of Exemptions �
Exemptions should be simple to obtain, but difficult to retain.
They should be a privilege, not a right. That is, Exemptions should
require a good faith effort to make the desired changes. Exemptions
used to simply support the status quo should be difficult to retain.
6. Control of Priorities
The Commissioner/Director should have the full authority to
determine priorities and to decide which "environmentally unacceptable"
packages to cover in an Order and which to deal with in the future.
However, the Advisory Committee expects that the
Commissioner/Director will receive requests for Exemptions and
evaluations for packages not covered in an order. The
Commissioner/Director should be required to respond to such requests in
a timely manner. (The Advisory Committee suggests that a response be
made within 60 days) .
Procedures developed to provide this timely response should give
priority to requests involving new product development by the requester.
These procedures should also include means to determine the cost of
providing this service and provide for a reasonable fee to cover the
cost of the service.
�
7. Sensitivity to Local Retailers
Local retailers are in a potentially difficult position.
Enfor�ement actions could put them at a serious competitive disadvantage
with respect to retailers in nearby communities that do not have similar
packaging ordinances. The Commissioner/Director should carefully assess
competitive effects on local retailers in selecting enforcement actions.
Given fair and sensitive treatment, local retailers can be a vital
resource in achieving voluntary compliance since food processors are
often very responsive to feedback from the retailer.
- III Enforcement Methodoloqy
The Advisory Committee recommends that enforcement be based on a
hierarchy of tiered enforcement priorities based on packaging by product
group.
In establishing this hierarchy of enforcement priorities, the
Commissioner/Oirector should view the food industry in terms of Grocery
and Food Service/Oeli sectors (using the same definitions currently used
by the Health Departments), and a separate set of tiered priorities
should be established for each of these sectors.
•
8
� (��d-�3/
Tier I enforcement efforts for the Food Service/Deli sector should
� proceed simultaneously with Tier I enforcement efforts in the Grocery
sector. The Advisory Committee proposes the following descriptions for
these tiers:
Grocerv Sector
Tier I - Packaging by product group sold in very high
volumes with a consequent proportionately large effect on
the solid waste stream.
Tier II - Packaging applications where existing technology
makes it technically most practical to convert to an
environmentally acceptable package. This does not imply
that substitutio� is preferable to recycling.
Group A - Packaging by product group where an
"environmentally acceptable" package is in concurrent
use with an "environmentally unacceptable" package.
Group B - Packaging by product group �here an
"environmentally acceptable" package was used in the
past and is still commercially available.
Group C - Packaging by product group where a probable
alternative is a "degradable" package as defined in
the Ordinances.
�
Food Service�Deli Sector
Tier I - Packaging used for pro�ucts consumed on premises.
Tier II - Packaging used for products consumed off premises,
including those co�sumed off premises as part of a catering
function that includes cleanup as well as food service.
IV. Tier Assiqnment
The following Tier assignments are proposed:
- Grocery Sector - The Grocery sector tier assignments are based on
an assessment of the packaging used by each product class combined
with sales pattern data supplied by Rainbow Foods.
Tier I
Milk
Carbonated beverages
Ice cream/frozen desserts
Yogurt
Noncarbonated water
iTier II, Group A
9
Pasta sauces Preserves/toppings �
Mustard Edible oils
Syrups Bouillon/spices
Peanut butter Vinegar
Honey BBQ sauce
Coffee whiteners Ketchup
Tier II, Group B
Individual serving containers
Soft margarine
Tier II, Group C
Cottage cheese Whipped toppings
Eggs Sour Cream & substitutes
Meat trays Produce trays
Processed meats
Food ServiceJDeli Sector - The Food Service/Deli sector tier
assignment is based on an assessment of feasible operations within
the sector. This does not imply that substitution is preferable
to recycling.
Tier I �
Any packaging used for products consumed on premises.
Tier II
Any packaging used for products consumed off premises
including those consumed off premises as part of a catering
function that includes cleanup as well as food service.
V Effective Date and Imalementation of the Ordinances
- Except as discussed below, the Advisory Committee recommends that
the Ordinances be made effective as of July 1, 1990, with enforcement
carried out as follows:
In order to provide for an enforcement phase-in period, the
Commissioner/Director shall issue an Exemption for all product groups
effective on July l, 1990 (or such other date established as the
effective date of the Ordinances) . This Exemption shall apply to all
Tier I product groups in both the Grocery sector and the Food
Service/Deli sector for a period of, say, 3 to 6 months; and to Tier II
Group A product groups in the Grocery sector for a period of, say, 6 to �
9 months; and to Tier II, Group B and C product groups in the Grocery
lo
� . � . �9a���/
sector and in the Food Service/Oeli sector for a period of, say, 12
• months from that date.
A retailer/distributor/manufacturer of a Tier I product group may
apply for an Exemption during the phase-in period provided. If they do
so, their product group will be deemed in compliance with the Ordinances
during the application and effective periods of their Exemptions.
A retailer/distributor/manufacturer of a Tier II product group may
apply for an Exemption after the expiration of the Tier I phase-in
period and before the expiration of the Tier II phase-in periods. If
they do so, their product groups will also be deemed in compliance with
the Ordinances during the application and effective periods of their
Exemptions.
Any "environmentally unacceptable" package which is not covered by
an Exemption (or an application for Exemption) after expiration of the
respective phase-in periods shall be subject to a removal Order issued
by the Commissioner/Director.
The Advisery Committee recommendation f�r a July 1, 1990 effective
aate is �ontingent on the accomplishment of the following tasks:
1. The Minneapolis and St. Paul Ordinances are amended so that
identical language is present in both Ordinances.
The Advisory Committee recommends that this amending include the
� following changes:
(a) Exempt any flexible package material of 10 mils or less
unless specifically disapproved by the
Commissioner/Director. The Commissioner/Director should,
after appropriate notice and hearing, disapprove those
f]exible package materials referred to in Section 236.06 (a)
in the St. Paul ordinance and Section 204.70 (a) in the
Minneapolis ordinance, not being recycled when the
alternative package is being recycled. (Eliminates the
requirement of specific approval by the Director while
retaining the power to deal with any unusual material . )
(b) In the Minneapolis Ordinance, move "Degradable
- Packaging" from Section 204.20 - b "Environmentally
Acceptable Packaging" to Section 204.70 "Exemptions"; and in
the St. Paul Ordinance move "Degradable Packaging" from
Section 236.02-b "Environmentally Acceptable Packaging" to
Section 236.06 "Exemptions". .
(c) Revise the language in section 204.20 - b(3) in the
Minneapolis Ordinance and section 236.02 - b3 in the St.
Paul Ordinance defining "Recyclable Packaging" so that it is
uniform between the two Ordinances. The Committee suggests
the following definition: "Packaging made of materials that
• are separable from solid waste by the generator or during
collection and that is currently collected for recycling in
: - 11
a municipally approved program. Packaging made of either �
polyethylene terepthalate (P.E.T. ) or high density
polyethylene (H.D.P.E. ) shall be considered to be recyclable
if and when it is collected for recycling in the same manner
as here stated."
2. Regulations based on these Guidelines have been drafted,
notice and hearing completed, and finished regulations promulgated
by both Minneapolis and St. Paul .
3. Enforcement systems in both cities are compatible with each
other. Exemptions issued in one city should be valid in the other
city as well .
VI Monitorin4 Implementation
The Committee further recommends that the Committee or a subgroup
of the Committee, representing varied interests, meet with the
Commissioner/Director, or their designees, at least quarterly over the
next two years, to continue advising on the complex enforcement issues
which inevitably will arise.

Amending Title 10 of the Minneapolis Code of Ordinances relating to
Food and Food Handlers by adding thereto a new Chapter 204 relating to
Environmental Preservation: Environmentally Acceptable Packaging.
The City Council of the City of Minneapolis dc ordain as follows:
Section 1. That the Minneapolis Code of Ordinances be amended by adding
thereto a new Chapter 204 to read as follows:
Chapter 204. Environmental Preservation:
Environmentally Acceptable Packaging
204.10. Legislative Purpose. The City Council finds that discarded
packaging from foods and beverages constitutes a significant and growing
� portion of the waste in Minneapolis' waste stream. Regulation of food and
beverage packaging, therefore, is a necessary part of any effort to
encourage a recyclable and compostable waste stream, thereby reducing the
disposal of solid waste and the economic and environmental� costs of waste
management for the citizens of Minneapolis and others �working or doi�g
business in Minneapolis.
The Council further finds that plastic packaging is rapidly replacing
other packaging material, and that most plastic packaging used for foods
and beverages is nondegradable, nonreturnable and nonrecyclable.
The Council also finds that the two main processes used to dispose of
discarded nondegradable, nonreturnable and nonrecyclable plastic foods and
beverage packaging, are land filling and incineration, both of which Should
be minimized for environmental reasons.
•
Chemicals hazardous to human health and to the safety of the
environment are present in the composition of plastic packaging, •
are believed to leach into the groundwater when this packaging is
placed in landfills, have been found to escape into the air when
this packaging is burned in incinerators, and contribute to
environmental problems associated with ash residue resulting from
the incineration process.
The Council therefore finds that the minimization of
no�degradable, nonreturnable and nonrecyclable food and beverage
packaging originating at retail food establishments within the
City of Minneapolis is necessary and desirable in order to reduce
the-City's waste stream, so as to reduce the volume of landfilled
waste, to minimize toxic by-products of incineration, to make the
waste stream less damaging to the environment, and to make our
City and neighboring communities more environmentally sound
places to live.
204.20. Definitions. As used in this Chapter, the following
terms and phrases shall have the meanings as defined in this
section:
(a) "Fackaging" shail mean and include all food-related
wrappings, adhesives, cords, bindings, strings, tapes, ribbons,
bags, boxes, coverings and containers; and shall further include
cups, glasses and similar containers for drinking out of or for
holding liquids, and plates and serving trays, but shall
specifically exclude plastic knives, forks and spoons sold or �
intended for use as utensils.
(b) "Environmentally acceptable packaging" shall mean and
include any o� t�e following:
(1) DEGRAOABLE PACKAGING: Paper or other cellulose-based
packaging capable of being decomposed by natural biological or
biochemical processes;
(2) RETURNABLE PACKAGING: Food or beverage containers or
packages, such as, but not limited to, soft drink bottles and
milk containers that are capable of being returned to the
distributor, such as but not limited to, dairies and soft drink
bottlers, for reuse as the same food or beverage container use at
least once;
(3) RECYCLAB�E PACKAGING: Packaging made of materials
that are separable from solid waste by the generator or during
collection and are currently collected for recycling in an
organized fashion in a municipally sponsored program within the
•
� � ��a 'y�/
�City of Minneapolis. Packaging made of either polyethylene terepthalate
(P.E.T.) or high density polyethylene (H.D.P.E.) shall be considered to be
recyclable if and when it is collected for recycling in the same manner as
• here stated.
(c) "Food establishment" as used in this Chapter means a "food
establishment" as defined in Section 188.10 of the Minneapolis Code of
Ordinances.
(d) "Commissioner" shall mean the Commissioner of Health of the City of
Minneapolis or the Commissioner's designee.
204.30_ Prohibitions. No person owning, operating or conducting a
f�ood-establishment within the City of Minneapolis shall do or allow to be
done any of the followi�g within the City: Sell or convey at retail or
possess with the intent to sell or convey at retail any food or beverage
that is placed, wrapped or packaged, at any time at or before the time or
point of sale, in or on packaging which is not environmentally acceptable
packaging. The presence on the premises of the food establishment of
packaging which is not environmentally acceptable packaging shall
constitute a rebuttable presumption of intent to sell or convey at retail,
or to provide to retail customers packaging which is not environmentally
acceptable packaging; provided, however, that this subparagraph shall not
apply to manufacturers, brokers or warehouse operators, who conduct or
transact no retail food or beverage business.
204.40. Enforcement. The Commissioner shall have the duty and the
authority to enforce provisions of this chapter.
• 204.50. Rules and Regulatio�s. The Commissioner may, upon notice and
hearing, promulgate such rules and regulations as may be necessary to carry
out the purposes of this Chapter and protect the health of the public,
including the development of exemptions under Section 204.10 for packaging
for which there is no commercially avai7able alternative and for flexible
packaging. In promulgating such rules the Commissioner shali consider the
legislative purposes provided in Section 204.10 of this Chapter and shall
consult with the operators of affected food establishments.
204.60. Advisory Comnitee on Environmentally Acceptable Packaging.
The City Council shall , by resolution, establish an Advisory Committee on
Environmentally Acceptable Packaging. The resolution shall provide for the
membership, manner of appoi�tment, the Committee's charge and its duration.
The membership shall be drawn from affected governmental units, business
and industry, trade associations, general business organizations, consumer
- groups, environmental groups and others as determined in the resolution.
The Advisory Committee shall include a member designated by the Hennepin
County Board of Commissioners from outside the City of Minneapolis and a
member designated by the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities. The
charge of the Committee shall include the following: �
•
• r .
(a) monitoring industry and governmental actions relating to •
environmentally acceptable packaging;
(b) advising the Commissioner of Health on implementation issues;
(c) advising the City Council on the feasibility of the effective date
of this Ordinance and recommending whether or not the effective date should
be extended;
(d) assisting in efforts to expand the City's recycling program to
include the collection of potentially recyclable materials not presently
collected, including consideration of financial assistance;
(e) recommending actions other levels of government and industry can
take to advance the goals of this Chapter�
(f) assisting in the development and implementation of public education
programs on recycling and packaging;
(g) Encouraging adoption of substantially similar
regulations by surrounding cities, particulariy those cities
with a border in common with Minneapolis.
204.70. Exemptions. Notwithstanding any other provision to the
contrary, this chapter shall not apply to:
(a) any flexible packaging of 10 mils or less in thickness unless •
disapproved by the Commissioner pursuant to rules promulgated under Section
204.50 above;
(�) any packaging used at hospitals or nursing homes;
(c) any paper, cellophane or other cellulose-based packaging that is
coated with plastic;
(d) any packaging which is not environmentaily acceptable, but for
which there is no commercially available alternative as determined by the
Commissioner by rule promulgated pursuant to Section 204.50. In
determining whether there are commercially available alternatives the
Commissioner shall consider the following: (1) the availability of
environmentally acceptable packaging for affected products; (2) the
economic consequences to manufacturers, suppliers, retai7ers and other
- vendors of requiring environmental7y acceptable packaging when available;
and (3) the competitive effects on manufacturers, suppliers, retailers and
other vendors involved in the sale of product brands or labels available
only in packaging that is not environmentally acceptable packagi�g. Every
rule creating an exemption under this paragraph shall be reviewed annually
by the Commissioner to determine whether current conditions continue to
warrant the exemption.
�
�� ��a -��i
204.80. Penalties. Each violation of any provision of this
Chapter or of lawful regulations promulgated under Section 204.50
• hereof shall be a petty misdemeanor, for which the maximum fine
shall be $50.00. Each day on which a violation occurs
constitutes a separate violation.
204.90. License Adverse Action. A violation of Section
204.30 shall be sufficient grounds for the revocation,
suspension, denial or non-renewal of any license for the food
establishment at which the violation occurs.
204.100. Severability. If any part or provision of this
Chapter or the application thereof to any person, entity, or
circumstances shall be adjudged unconstitutional or invalid by
any court of competent jurisdiction, such judgment shall be
confined �in its operation to the part, provision or applicatio�
which is directly involved in the controversy in which such
judgment shall have been rendered, and shall not affect or impair
the validity of the remainder of this Chapter or the application
thereof to other persons, entities, or circumstances.
204.110. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall take effect
July 1, 1990� The City Council may, however, pursuant to the
recortanendations of the Advisory Committee created under Section
204.60 hereof and the Commissioner of Health, delay the effective
date of this Chapter for a period not to exceed six (6) months.

THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAINT PAUL DOES ORDAIN:
Section 1
A new chapter of the Saint Paul Legislative Code is here'oy
enacted to read as follows:
Chapter 236
ENVIRONMENTAL PRESERVATION:
PLASTIC PACKAGING
• Section 236.01 Legislative Purpose.
The Council finds that discarded packaging from foods and
beverages constitutes a significant and growing portion of the
waste in Saint Paul' s waste stream. Regulation or food and
beverage oackaging, therefore, is a necessary part of any effort
to encourage a r2cyclable and com oostable wast2 stream, theraby
reducing the disposal of solid waste and the economic and
environm ental costs of waste management for the citizens of Saint
Paul and others working or doing business in Saint Paul.
The Council further finds that plastic pac;caging is rapidly
replacing other packaging material , and that most plastic
packaging used for foods and beverages is nondegradable ,
nonreturnable and nonrecyclable.

The Council also finds that the two main processes use� to
dispose of discarded nondegradable, nonreturnable and
nonrecyclable plastic foods and beverage packaging, are land filling
and incineration , both of which should be minimized for
environm ental reasons.
Chemicals hazardous to human health and to the safety of the .

The Council finds that the plastic packaging used for foods
and beverages contributes significantly to litter and the
disposal of litter , is more difficult to collect, and lasts
indefinitely until picked up or cleaned up.
- The Council has also been made aware of the facts recited in
the Addendum to this ordinance, which facts have been weighed and
considered as part of the record supporting its passage.
Section 236.02. Definitions. As used in this chapter , the
following terms and phrases shall have the meanings as
defined in this section:
(a) "Packaging" shall mean and include all food-related
wrappings, adhesives, cords, bindings, strings, tapes,

(b) "Environm entally acceptable packaging" shall mean
and include:
( 1 ) DEGRADABLE PACKAGING : Paper or other
cellulose -based packaging capa 'Qle of
bein� decomposed by natural biologicai or
biochemical processes;
(2 ) RETURNABLE PACKAGING: Food or beverage
containers or packages , such as but not limited

such as but not limited to, dairies and soft drink
bottlers , for reuse as the same food or beverage
container use at least once;
(3) RECYCLABLE PACKAGING: Packaging made of
materials that are separable from solid waste, by
the generator or during collection, for which
there is an existing city-approved curbside
recycling program operating in and maki�g curbside
pickups in the City of St. Paul. Packaging made
of either polyethylene terepthalate (P.E.T.) or
