 On September 23, the US oil major Exxon Mobil was sued in state court by the state of California for misleading public opinion by recycling plastics. According to the state, Exxon opposed the strengthening of plastic regulations through lobbying activities by industry groups it belongs to, and appealed to consumers about the effectiveness of recycling through advertising to prevent the image of plastic from worsening and stimulate demand.

 

 As a result, the state of California is forced to spend more than $1 billion (about 140 billion yen) on waste plastic countermeasures every year, and has filed a lawsuit against Exxon Mobil for illegal acts such as 1) violation of the public interest, 2) water pollution by waste plastic, and 3) false advertising. (Nikkei Newspaper, September 24, 2024)

 

 Recently, various companies have been promoting their own environmentally conscious activities and products. How should consumers think about this information? Please let us know your thoughts..
