Sure, you can burn plastics -- but releasing even more CO2 is not attractive. There is a lot of talk about ways to sequester carbon -- it seems like throwing away tons of plastic is doing exactly that. Now, I'm sure it could be done in a better way that is currently being done, but burning it seems like non-starter.
