Relates to advanced recycling and advanced recycling facilities
This bill amends environmental law to define "advanced recycling" as processes converting plastic waste (post-use polymers) into new materials - like monomers or chemicals - using methods such as pyrolysis or gasification, while explicitly excluding incineration and waste-to-energy. It creates new definitions for "advanced recycling facilities," clarifying these must follow standard manufacturing regulations (air, water, land use) but are not classified as waste disposal or management facilities. The law directly affects plastic recycling facilities using these technologies, changing how they are regulated under environmental rules. The changes aim to distinguish advanced recycling from traditional waste handling and incineration processes.
