Synagro, a waste recycling company owned by Goldman Sachs, is lobbying Congress to shield the sludge manufacturer from being subjected to lawsuits over synthetic chemicals contaminating farmlands.
In 2022, the company created the Coalition of Recyclers of Residual Organics by Practitioners of Sustainability to lobby its interests to Congress. Leading the nonprofit group is Synagro CEO Bob Preston. Since its creation, the organization has spent $220,000 on federal lobbying, according to disclosure forms.
