EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin has signaled support for continued development of “chemical” or “advanced” recycling technologies that can process hard-to-recycle plastics.
“The capital investment seems to be extraordinary and the future potential here seems to be limitless,” Zeldin said in a video Exxon Mobil released Monday from his September tour of the oil giant’s chemical plant in Baytown, Texas.
Zeldin’s comments are some of his first public remarks on the issue.

“It’s very eye-opening being here at this Exxon Mobil site where you’re seeing a proof of concept on advanced recycling get developed in a way that may inspire other cities and really this entire country,” Zeldin said in the video.
