This bill, introduced in the Minnesota House of Representatives by Representative Van Binsbergen, proposes an appropriation of $10,000,000 in fiscal year 2026 to the Minnesota Department of Agriculture. The funds will be used as a grant for CelluComp, a company working on commercializing an innovative material additive designed to enable the production of fiber-based barrier packaging. The purpose of this initiative is to reduce the use of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and plastics in packaging products. The appropriation is a one-time allocation and will remain available until July 1, 2027.
