When I started researching “advanced recycling,” I was surprised to see that one of a handful of US facilities is in NC, close to where I grew up. I started looking into it. What I found was…troubling, to say the least.

They Promised “Advanced Recycling” for Plastics and Delivered Toxic Waste

Lobbyists w/ ties to Biden, Pelosi, & other powerful Dems have worked on behalf of the Vinyl Institute to promote vinyl chloride — the toxic chemical at the center of the East Palestine disaster. My latest reporting for @theintercept :

Residents of East Palestine were exposed to vinyl chloride, primarily used to make a plastic called polyvinyl chloride, or PVC.
