You want the stored carbon in plastics to escape??
The best outcome for plastics, would be to bury them very deep (like nuclear waste), where they could eventually become some new oil like substance. No carbon escape.
- huytersd 3y agoYeah but no one is burying the plastic, it’s too expensive. So realistically I’d much rather have the plastic breakdown so it’s not everywhere for 10k years.
- vl 3y agoA lot of plastic actually gets buried. For example, in Washington’s King County non-recycled waste is buried. Perhaps this needs to be done world-wide.
