Most every European country has bins for collecting plastic. People shouldn't be burning it themselves, just collect it in the appropriate bin and send it to the incinerator.
- pixl97 4y agoIf every bit of plastic was burned in Europe, then we'd still only be talking about 10% of the problem. The US for example is high effective at burying their plastic problem in sanitary landfills, something tiny, like less than 1% of plastic waste escapes this flow. Once you get out of US and EU these numbers can vary wildly up and to the point of everything getting thrown in the nearest ditch and flowing down the river to the closest ocean. Dealing with worldwide problem with a EU/US mindset is a great way to propagate a worldwide disaster.
- yakak 4y agoWaste to energy is something that can easily be implemented worldwide because the resulting infrastructure has income to pay for itself. There are world wide infrastructure programs that build less useful things. It's much harder to get high quality landfills made and maintained because they don't have a source of profit.
