A lawsuit by the state of California says the plastic industry engaged in “a decades long campaign of deception” about plastic recycling. In truth, recycling can’t solve the plastic crisis. Learn more about industry’s fake math in this IPEN briefing: stoppoisonplastic.org/blog/portfolio…

It has been suggested that plastic chemicals be regulated only as “chemicals in plastic products.” But toxic plastic chemicals can be released during production, use, and disposal, not only in products. We explain the danger of a “products only” approach: stoppoisonplastic.org/blog/portfolio…
