Recycling Technology Innovation Act

Exclusion of specific transformation units: Certain units that convert or transform plastic or post-use polymers through pyrolysis, gasification, depolymerization, catalytic cracking, solvolysis, or chemolysis can be excluded from the definition of a solid waste incineration unit if at least 50 percent by mass are products (Section 2, amending Section 129(g)(1)).

Petition process for similar units: Owners or operators of units that transform plastic or post-use polymers but do not meet the specific criteria in subparagraph (A)(iv) can submit a petition to the Administrator to be treated as excluded from the definition (Section 2, adding subparagraph (B)(i)).

Transparency in the petition process: For any petition submitted, the Administrator is required to make the complete petition publicly available and seek public comment (Section 2, adding subparagraph (B)(ii)).
