Zero Food Waste Act
To provide grants to reduce the amount of food waste, and for other purposes.
HB6684, also known as the Zero Food Waste Act, aims to provide grants to organizations that focus on reducing food waste. The bill would affect food producers, distributors, retailers, and consumers by promoting strategies and technologies that help minimize food waste. It also encourages partnerships between the public and private sectors to achieve this goal.
The bill is currently in its early stages, having been introduced and referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce on December 12, 2025. This means that committee members will review the bill, potentially hold hearings, and decide whether to move it forward for further consideration.
Key actions include the introduction of the bill by Julia Brownley and co-sponsorship by Doris Matsui, Chellie Pingree, Sean Casten, and Jill Tokuda. The bill's future will depend on the committee's recommendations and the broader legislative process.
