Recycling Technology Innovation Act

This bill amends the Clean Air Act to clarify when certain plastic conversion facilities are excluded from the definition of "solid waste incineration units." It directly affects companies operating facilities that transform plastic or post-use polymers (via methods like pyrolysis) into usable materials, provided at least 50% of the output by mass is a "product" (e.g., usable substances for sale or manufacturing), not energy or ash. Key mechanisms include adding a specific exclusion for qualifying conversion units (Section 2(A)(iv)) and creating a 180-day petition process for other similar units to seek exclusion (Section 2(B)). The bill defines "product" to exclude electricity, heat, or ash but include materials with commercial applications.
