California's Attorney General Rob Bonta alleges ExxonMobil has engaged in a decades-long campaign of deception about recycling, claiming it is viable despite evidence to the contrary.
Bonta stated, 'ExxonMobil knew that 95% of the plastic in the blue bin was going to be incinerated, go into the environment or go into a landfill. They knew and they lied.'
According to Bonta, 92% of the plastic waste processed through ExxonMobil's so-called 'advanced recycling' technology does not result in recycled plastic, but fuel.
ExxonMobil's response to the allegations shifted blame to California officials, stating they have long been aware of the ineffective recycling system but failed to address it.
