The state of California just filed a landmark lawsuit against ExxonMobil for its lies and deception around plastic recycling.
In case you missed it, Attorney General Rob Bonta is suing petrochemical giant ExxonMobil.
This landmark lawsuit by the state of California seeks to hold one of the world’s largest polluters accountable for decades of lies and deception that created and exacerbated the global plastics crisis.

ExxonMobil, the largest promoter and producer of polymers used to create single-use plastics that become waste in California, spent years convincing the public that recycling makes plastic, including single-use plastic, sustainable. It doesn’t.
The truth is that only 5 percent of U.S. plastic waste is recycled. The rest ends up in our environment, our waterways and oceans, our wildlife, and even our own bodies.
Exxon Mobil knew, and Exxon Mobil lied. So as California’s top law enforcement officer and consumer advocate, Rob is doing something about it.
The AG announced this lawsuit yesterday alongside Lou Diamond Phillips at Climate Week NYC, as a coalition of environmental groups filed their own lawsuit against ExxonMobil.
Let Rob know you have his back and show the public support for this critical step to hold big polluters like ExxonMobil accountable: add your name now!
