NY S06371

Redefines "advanced recycling" as a manufacturing process (including pyrolysis, gasification, depolymerization, and solvolysis) that converts post-use polymers into raw materials, chemicals, and plastic feedstocks, explicitly excluding incineration and waste-to-energy processes

Exempts post-use polymers and recovered feedstocks processed at advanced recycling facilities from definitions of "disposal," "waste," and "solid waste" under environmental conservation law

Classifies advanced recycling facilities as manufacturing facilities rather than solid waste management facilities, subjecting them to manufacturing regulations instead of waste facility regulations

Exempts advanced recycling facilities from permitting requirements under 6 NYCRR Parts 360, 361, and 362 that govern solid waste management, material recovery, and combustion/thermal treatment facilities

Establishes mass balance attribution methodology using third-party certification systems (such as ISCC, UL, and REDcert2) to track recycled content in products made from advanced recycling processes
