Sent to landfill is one of the better things which can happen to discarded plastic; it can also be incinerated or lost at sea which are both worse.
@TinaCordon @breadandcircuses #Landfill is hugely problematic a) because of the sheer landmass required b) because #plastics don't stay where they were dumped. Winds and water transport everything https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9602440/
@sheislaurence I agree that landfill is bad and the best solution is to stop using single use plastic but burning plastic is worse and landfill could be done better. If each plastic went to a specific landfill which contained only items made from that plastic this could be managed better. Having no plastic would be great but dealing with the world as it is, and not as we wish it to be, is what we must do.
