Relates to advanced recycling and advanced recycling facilities

This bill amends New York's environmental conservation law to clarify that advanced recycling processes and materials handled at advanced recycling facilities are not classified as "waste" or "solid waste." It defines "advanced recycling" as manufacturing processes (like pyrolysis and gasification) that convert used plastics into raw materials, excluding incineration or waste-to-energy. The law explicitly states that advanced recycling facilities are not considered "solid waste facilities" or "incinerators," changing how these operations are regulated. This directly affects companies operating advanced recycling facilities and the plastics industry by removing regulatory barriers tied to waste management.
