It's _much_ better to burning trash in special facilities, where it is burnt down to CO2, rather to some kind of soot that will pollute the atmosphere. It will also be more efficient in terms of energy production.
- tsimionescu 3y agoBetter yet to bury it in a landfill and not deliberately release CO2 at all.
- tourmalinetaco 3y agoThis. Wait until we get the plastic-eating microorganisms, the plastic certainly isn’t going anywhere.
- jamil7 3y agoSome countries don’t have the space for landfill and need the energy. If we’re moving towards renewables and less plastic/plastic alternatives then I think this is an acceptable intermediate use of plastic waste.
- tsimionescu 3y agoI'm quite sure that it would be better to burn gas or oil and find some other country to bury the plastic for you. Burning plastic is just very inefficient, and expensive if you don't want the thickest toxic smog.
