Ohio Confirms Freepoint Is a Plastic Incinerator — Shut It Down Now

For over a year, the Freepoint “plastic recycling” facility in Hebron, Ohio, has been polluting the air and harming local communities. While community members and advocates called out the facility as a plastic incinerator, the company claimed it was recycling the majority of the plastic trash, turning it into a low-grade oil.

On April 28th, the OEPA issued a Notice of Violation for Freepoint, notifying them that the facility does not currently qualify as a recycling facility and is indeed a plastic incinerator. This means this chronic polluter has been misregulated, allowing Freepoint to avoid the stronger regulations.

OEPA must shut down Freepoint until this waste incinerator goes through the process to obtain the right permit and proves it can operate safely and legally!
