Attorney General Rob Bonta says Exxon intentionally misled the public about the realities of recycling plastics during a Climate Week event Monday.

The state’s attorney general accused the oil company of misleading consumers about the recyclability of plastic products. It’s seeking civil penalties.

California's attorney general is suing ExxonMobil, alleging the oil giant engaged in a “decades-long campaign of deception” about the effectiveness of plastics recycling.
