[At this very moment, we all have microplastics coursing through our bodies. This is not the fault of not enough recycling. This is the fault of too much plastic. So I say: Let’s treat plastic like the toxic waste it is and send it where it can hurt people the least. Right now, that place is the landfill.]

Wonder why the author favors this option over incineration, which to me seems as being the better approach to get rid of it.



No plastic waste is sent to landfill in my part of the world. Only incinerated, and occasionally used as part of road pavement.
