"Advanced recycling" is a scam

Today's Action at the Speed of Moms:
Tell Congress: Protect our families from dangerous “advanced recycling” pollution

Dear friend,

"Advanced recycling" is a wolf in sheep's clothing. Plastic industry lobbyists are pushing Congress to support this practice, which is masquerading as a solution to the plastic pollution crisis. The catch is “advanced recycling” is NOT recycling at all—it is the incineration of plastics, plain and simple.

Burning plastics creates dangerous air pollution and chemical waste—and kids are the most vulnerable. Children living near these incinerators are at increased risk of health impacts affecting the brain, lungs, and heart as well as birth defects and cancer. Will you urge Congress to reject "advanced recycling" to keep our families healthy and safe?

SAY NO TO BURNING PLASTICS

By using this language of "recycling," the plastic industry is trying to skirt air pollution controls that incinerators should be subject to. They are looking for a free pass to pollute our communities and our air—with heavy metals and toxic compounds, including benzene and formaldehyde. All these pollutants put our children at risk.

We need real solutions. Tell Congress to protect our families from "advanced recycling," for the health and safety of your loved ones.

For clean air,

Patrice Tomcik
