Plastics Liability Paradigm Shift
By Eric F. Greenberg, Attorney-at-law
We might be witnessing a revolution in ways to place legal blame on plastic packaging companies. In late September, California filed a lawsuit against Exxon Mobil over package recycling, and it’s a new kind of attack.
According to the state’s attorney general, Rob Bonta, “For decades, Exxon Mobil has been deceiving the public to convince us that plastic recycling could solve the plastic waste and pollution crisis when they clearly knew this wasn’t possible.” He also asserted that the company “falsely promoted all plastic as recyclable, when in fact the vast majority of plastic are not and likely cannot by recycled, either technically or economically.”
