All, I hate to inundate you recently with invitation requests, however, I understand the administrator may be interested in prioritizing advanced recycling in EPA's regulatory and domestic manufacturing agenda. Attached is a letter from one of our member companies inviting the administrator to an advanced recycling facility. The administrator will see the entire process. It's not a big industrial site, but it is an industrial process where the administrator will also see the final produced pyrolysis oil which is then used to make new plastic -- however from recycled former plastic. This chemical recycling / advanced recycling process has the potential is increasing low statistics from mechanical recycling by orders of magnitude. Additionally, this is a facility which the EPA has helped maneuver the regulatory process really recently. Literally last week, EPA approved this facility's air permit renewal. In order to grant that air permit renewal, EPA also cut through the process of competing permits the facility was dealing with to streamline the process leading to the air permit renewal. The facility has already increased production. EPA in OSCPP is also considering withdrawing 18 proposed regulations from the Biden administration which inhibited advanced recycling. Finally, our member companies recently met with OAR, and we are talking through how to update and repropose regulation from the Trump I administration which didn't have the opportunity to get to a final regulation. More on that background here: ..ttps://plasticmakers.org/epa-pick-up-where-you-left-off-in-2020-on- dUVdliced - recyclingi So, I hope this helps sketch out what we think could be a great way to see advanced recycling, highlight the regulatory help EPA has already provided to this very plant, and consider taking new steps to further make advanced recycling and the answer to plastic waste more prevalent and more of a reality. We are really pleased to set up a call to further go through this and answer your questions. I have no doubt your will have many, but we wanted to be responsive.
