California Attorney General Rob Bonta filed a lawsuit against ExxonMobil, accusing the oil giant of deceiving the public about plastic recycling. The lawsuit alleges that ExxonMobil falsely promoted all plastics as recyclable, contributing to plastic pollution. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages and is the first attempt by a U.S. government official to hold an oil and gas company accountable for misleading claims about plastics.
Lummus Technology and MOL Group have initiated the design phase for the first Lummus Advanced Waste Plastic Recycling unit, which will be located in Hungary and process 40,000 tons of mixed waste plastics per year. This project marks a significant step towards a more circular economy and addresses the global plastic waste challenge by transforming waste into valuable chemicals and raw materials.
