California Attorney General Rob Bonta filed a lawsuit against ExxonMobil, accusing the company of deceiving the public about recycling's effectiveness in addressing plastic waste. The lawsuit cites evidence from the Center for Climate Integrity showing that Exxon and other fossil fuel companies have promoted recycling as a solution despite knowing it's not viable at scale.
California Attorney General Rob Bonta today filed a first-of-its-kind lawsuit against ExxonMobil, the world’s largest producer of single-use plastic polymers, over its decades-long fraud to convince the public that recycling is a viable solution to the spiraling plastic waste crisis.
“ExxonMobil is now facing long-overdue legal accountability for its role in causing and lying about the two greatest environmental catastrophes facing humanity: the climate crisis and the plastic waste crisis. Just as Exxon knew and lied about how its fossil fuel products cause climate change, the polluter has also known and lied for decades about the reality that its plastic products could never be recycled at scale.
