  Plastic is easy enough to recycle/burn/bury and that's what happens most of the time. A lot of plastic pollution is from micro particles that escape during the process of manufacture, shipping, etc. China banned plastic bags because: They were sick of them, alternatives are easily available and some times authoritarian governments can do the right a lot faster then democratic ones. The rest of the world continues as before, except that this story keeps making the rounds.

    "...some times authoritarian governments can do the right (thing?) a lot faster then democratic ones..." I really like this train of thought. It's so easy to get caught in Democracy = CORRECT. For me anyway.
