The bill proposes an appropriation of $10,000,000 for the fiscal year 2026 to the Minnesota Department of Agriculture. This funding is designated for a grant to CelluComp, aimed at supporting the commercialization of a new material additive that facilitates the production of fiber-based barrier packaging. The initiative seeks to reduce the use of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and plastics in packaging products.

This appropriation is a one-time allocation and will remain available until July 1, 2027. The bill emphasizes the state's commitment to advancing sustainable packaging solutions and reducing environmental pollutants associated with traditional packaging materials.
