## Summary

**Would create a clear pathway for certain plastics-processing units to be excluded from the federal definition of "solid waste incineration unit."** It would restructure that definition, add a rule-based 50 percent product test, and establish a 180-day petition review process for units that seek exclusion. - Owners and operators of plastics conversion units could qualify for exclusion if their outputs are at least 50 percent product by mass under a method the Administrator would set by rule. - The Administrator would have to publish any exclusion petition, seek public comment, and approve or deny petitions within 180 days. - The bill defines "product" as a material with a commercial or industrial use that can be sold or used as an input and explicitly excludes electricity, heat, steam, soot, char, dust, and ash from that definition.
