Exxon Mobil Corp. filed a lawsuit alleging that California Attorney General Rob Bonta and several environmental groups made defamatory comments about the oil company’s ability to recycle plastic.
Exxon accused Bonta, the Sierra Group and others of making “false accusations” about its advanced recycling process. Exxon said in a suit filed in federal court in Texas Monday that the process works and the claims have damaged its relationship with customers.
