This is true, landfills aren't perfect. However it's better than our current "Recycling" which just ships the plastic off to 3rd world countries to be burned or buried. To be honest, I think micro-plastics are the among least hazardous things that can leak from a landfill. Also a landfill is usually local as possible and doesn't require much energy. The answer will always be "Use less of the junk." But I feel guilty putting plastic in the recycling bin.
