The alternative is to throw all of this plastic into a landfill where it will… leach into the soil and contaminate the environment with plastic particles. At least this option stabilizes the plastic for a period of time.
- jay_kyburz 6y agoI would have thought dumping the plastic in a deep pit, perhaps with some kind of solid lining would slow/prevent the plastics breaking down into "micro particles" (whatever they are) and ending up in our food.
- Nasrudith 6y agoIronically most proper landfills (at least in the first world) use plastic liners along with clay as part of their barriers to prevent water contamination from other trash. I am no expert - so I cannot say if the barriers put plastic in the groundwater but that method prevents more acute toxins like dioxins and oil from getting in.
