As it nears the end of a two-year investigation into Exxon's plastic pollution, California is considering suing the oil major.
California is close to completing a two-year investigation into Exxon on allegations of plastic pollution. After that, the state will decide whether to sue the supermajor for polluting or not. That’s what California ’s Attorney General told Reuters, using rhetoric that suggested the lawsuit is the more likely outcome. 'We are soon going to be ready to get to a decision based on all of our investigations in the coming weeks,' Rob Bonta said.
The issue is not plastic,” Exxon’s head of product solutions, Karen McKee, told the FT. “A limit on plastic production will not serve us in terms of pollution and the environment.” At the same time, the company has declined to comment on the California investigation but Reuters recalls that back when the probe was launched in 2022, Exxon said the allegations had no merit and that it was working to improve plastics recycling.
