On April 18, the New Jersey Environmental Justice Alliance and environmental partners submitted a letter to NJ Assembly Speaker Craig Coughlin highlighting our unified opposition to chemical recycling. We do not support any project that employs chemical recycling or similar processes as it does not constitute genuine recycling, and in fact leads to increased pollution, safety risks for workers and host communities, and does not offer a real solution to the problem of plastic pollution.

In an effort to demonstrate our solidarity on this issue, inform our elected officials regarding the dangers of this technology, and oppose it’s development in our state, we submitted this letter on the matter. Read our letter below.
