ExxonMobil filed a federal defamation lawsuit against California Attorney General Rob Bonta and several environmental groups, alleging they falsely claimed the company's plastic recycling technology was a 'false promise'. The lawsuit stems from Bonta's previous lawsuit against ExxonMobil, accusing it of deceiving the public about plastic recycling for decades.
File - A sign marks the entrance to an ExxonMobil fuel storage and distribution facility in Irving, Texas, Jan. 25, 2023. SAN FRANCISCO — Exxon Mobil Corp. filed a federal defamation lawsuit against California Attorney General Rob Bonta and several environmental groups, months after Bonta sued the oil and gas giant alleging that it deceived the public for half a century by promising the plastics it produced would be recycled.
“Together, Bonta and the US Proxies — the former for political gain and the latter pawns for the Foreign Interests — have engaged in a deliberate smear campaign against ExxonMobil, falsely claiming that ExxonMobil’s effective and innovative advanced recycling technology is a ‘false promise’ and ‘not based on truth,’” the company said in its lawsuit.
As a result landfills and oceans are filled with plastic waste, creating a global pollution crisis, while consumers diligently place plastic water bottles and other containers into recycling bins, the lawsuit alleges.SAN FRANCISCO — Exxon Mobil Corp.
