California Attorney General Rob Bonta's lawsuit against Exxon Mobil challenges the company's claims about advanced recycling, which he argues is more about marketing than genuine environmental benefit. During the lawsuit, allegations centered on Exxon's promotion of advanced recycling as a miracle solution for plastic waste, while evidence shows only a small fraction of recycled materials are actually repurposed, calling the entire practice into question.
Environmental advocates have reacted positively to the lawsuit, with many perceiving it as a significant move against what they call greenwashing by major corporations. Jane Williams from California Communities Against Toxics describes the advanced recycling claim as a deception, claiming that if Exxon could effectively recycle plastics into new materials, it would have done so long ago. This sentiment underlines the skepticism surrounding corporate recycling narratives.
