California's lawsuit against ExxonMobil alleges that the company has spent decades misleading the public about plastic recycling’s efficacy, knowing it wouldn't effectively stem plastic waste.
Attorney General Rob Bonta highlighted that ExxonMobil deceived the public into believing that plastic recycling could solve the waste crisis, despite knowing the challenges involved.
The lawsuit states that ExxonMobil's misinformation led to excessive plastic usage, contributing to a waste problem costing the state over $400 million annually in cleanup.
Despite numerous recycling campaigns, less than 10% of plastic waste is recycled globally, marking a failure of the industry's promises regarding effective recycling.
