HD 1558 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to chemical recycling

This bill prohibits the use of chemical recycling technologies in Massachusetts, which include processes like gasification and pyrolysis that convert plastic into fuel or other energy sources. It directly affects businesses and facilities that currently operate or plan to operate these specific recycling methods within the state. The law bans the construction of new facilities using these technologies and prevents the conversion of existing non-covered facilities into such operations. Additionally, the bill removes eligibility for state subsidies, grants, tax breaks, and other financial incentives for projects focused on these regulated technologies.
