9 County pyrolysis or gasification facility.
10 (a) As used in this Section:

12 organic polymer that can be molded into shape under heat and
13 pressure and then set into a rigid or slightly elastic form.
14 "Plastics gasification facility" means a manufacturing
15 facility that:
16 (1) receives only uncontaminated plastics that have
17 been processed prior to receipt at the facility into a
18 feedstock meeting the facility's specifications for a
19 gasification feedstock; and

1 "Plastics pyrolysis facility" means a manufacturing
2 facility that:
3 (1) receives only uncontaminated plastics that have
4 been processed prior to receipt at the facility into a
5 feedstock meeting the facility's specifications for a
6 pyrolysis feedstock; and
7 (2) uses heat in the absence of oxygen to process the
8 uncontaminated plastics into fuels, chemicals, or chemical
9 feedstocks that are returned to the economic mainstream in
10 the form of raw materials or products.
11 (b) Provided that permitting and construction has
12 commenced prior to July 1, 2027 2025, a pilot project allowing
13 for a pyrolysis or gasification facility in accordance with
14 this Section is permitted for a locally zoned and approved
15 site in either Will County or Grundy County.
16 (c) To the extent allowed by federal law, uncontaminated
17 plastics that have been processed into a feedstock meeting
18 feedstock specifications for a plastics gasification facility
19 or plastics pyrolysis facility, and that are further processed
20 by such a facility and returned to the economic mainstream in
21 the form of raw materials or products, are considered recycled
22 and are not subject to regulation as waste.
23 (d) The Agency may propose to the Board for adoption, and
24 the Board may adopt, rules establishing standards for
25 materials accepted as feedstocks by plastics gasification
26 facilities and plastics pyrolysis facilities, rules
