California Attorney General Rob Bonta's lawsuit accuses ExxonMobil of deceiving the public about plastic recycling and its consequences for environmental pollution, seeking penalties.
"For decades, ExxonMobil has been deceiving the public to convince us that plastic recycling could solve the plastic waste and pollution crisis when they clearly knew it wasn't possible," said Bonta. This reflects the attorney general's strong stance against corporate misinformation.
Bonta is pursuing civil penalties and an abatement fund, aiming to hold ExxonMobil accountable for the environmental damage and costs inflicted upon California's communities due to plastics pollution.
The lawsuit represents a culmination of Bonta's two-and-a-half-year investigation into the petrochemical industry's role in exacerbating the plastic waste crisis, going back to the company's deception tactics.
