California Files First-of-its-Kind Lawsuit Against ExxonMobil Over Plastic Recycling Deception
Sep 23, 2024, 04:54 PM
The state of California has filed a first-of-its-kind lawsuit against ExxonMobil, accusing the oil giant of misleading the public about the recyclability of plastics. The lawsuit, announced by California Attorney General Rob Bonta, alleges that ExxonMobil engaged in a decades-long campaign of deception that has contributed to the global plastic pollution crisis. Environmental organizations, including Surfrider, the Sierra Club, Heal the Bay, and San Francisco Baykeeper, are also part of the legal action. The suit seeks to hold ExxonMobil accountable for its role in exacerbating plastic pollution, to prohibit the company from making false or misleading statements about plastics recycling, and to establish an abatement fund.
