    The United States International Trade Commission has announced the cancellation of a public hearing regarding investigations into paper plates from China, Thailand, and Vietnam. Originally scheduled for January 23, 2025, the hearing was canceled after the American Paper Plate Coalition withdrew its request to appear. The Coalition has indicated it is willing to provide written responses to any questions from the Commission instead. All parties involved in the investigation are expected to submit their posthearing briefs by January 30, 2025.

Everyone else needs to send their thoughts by the end of the month.

This decision followed an investigation that started on January 25, 2024, after receiving petitions from the American Paper Plate Coalition. The Commission's final ruling and details are documented in a publication released in March 2025. The planned public hearing for this issue was canceled when no parties requested to attend.
