New study by Stagwell’s The Harris Poll reveals New Yorkers favor molecular recycling as solution to waste crisis

KINGSPORT, Tennessee

A recent survey conducted by Stagwell's The Harris Poll shows that while the waste crisis is a top-tier environmental concern for New Yorkers, they don't see a plastic ban as a viable solution. Molecular recycling is an innovative recycling method that allows consumers to keep their essential plastic products, and 78% of New Yorkers say it is a positive solution to the plastic waste crisis.

The study, which surveyed 1,092 New Yorkers across different political parties and demographics, found that around 60% of respondents believe molecular recycling would alleviate the burden of recycling and contribute to a more sustainable lifestyle. Read the full press release here.
