It’s not really a benefit if the original carbon came from oil, because the carbon that was originally deep underground is now at the surface. If anything it’s only neutral, however the carbon emitted during oil extraction and the manufacturing process still results in a net negative.

Landfill isn’t the worst option, but it’s still better to try to avoid the manufacturing of it to begin with.
