Advanced Recycling Policy

Today's waste. Tomorrow's resource.

Plastics – they make modern life possible. But plastic waste is still a challenge. With rapidly scalable, affordable technologies, we can do better.

That's where advanced recycling can help.

Advanced recycling breaks down plastics to recover their valuable molecules that can be reused to make new products. But we need better policy to help to realize its potential. Smart policy can keep more plastics out of landfills, scale up recycling capacity, and unlock investment in U.S. manufacturing.

ExxonMobil has the resources and know-how to recycle more plastics at an industrial scale. Let's modernize the rules to keep plastic in the economy and out of landfills and incinerators.

Because with full-scale advanced recycling, today's waste can be tomorrow's resource.
