MI SB0954

Defines "advanced recycling" as a manufacturing process converting post-use polymers and recovered feedstocks into recycled products through pyrolysis, gasification, depolymerization, catalytic cracking, and similar technologies, explicitly excluding solid waste processing and incineration.

Establishes "advanced recycling facility" as a facility receiving and storing post-use polymers and recovered feedstocks for conversion, clarifying it is not a solid waste processing plant, transfer facility, or municipal solid waste incinerator.

Defines "post-use polymers" as plastics derived from industrial, commercial, agricultural, or household activities that have been sorted from solid waste but may contain residual materials and contaminants, intended for use as feedstock at advanced recycling facilities.

Adds definitions for advanced recycling-related processes including "depolymerization," "pyrolysis," "gasification," and "solvolysis" to describe specific manufacturing methods for converting polymers into monomers, oligomers, chemicals, waxes, and other hydrocarbons.

Excludes post-use polymers and recovered feedstocks from the definition of "solid waste," allowing these materials to be processed through advanced recycling without solid waste disposal regulations.
