Tell the FTC: Don’t let plastic producers mislead the public

FTC Director Lina Khan,

Plastic is one of the most difficult materials to recycle, and yet for decades, companies have been putting recycling symbols on items that will never end up anywhere but the landfill. This kind of misinformation only makes our mounting plastic pollution crisis worse.

I urge you to crack down on plastic recycling misinformation so that the word “recyclable” or the chasing arrows symbol only appears on items that can actually be recycled.
