Answer

Look at the sentence like this

Other major changes include EXPANDING [the requirements for placards and garbage management plans] TO [fixed and floating platforms].

Is that clearer?

Answer

The sentence has two parts. "..."garbage management plans" and "... to fixed and floating platforms". Then it becomes clearer.

"Fixed and floating platforms" simply describes an "oil platform that is fixed in one position" and the other "an oil platform that moves (like a semi submersible)".

Reading the two together, it just means "to install placards and start managing garbage on fixed/ floating platforms".
