Still don’t understand why putting plastics into landfills is not considered carbon capture and promoted as more environmentally friendly than risking it being burnt or disposed of in the sea when shipped to developing countries for “recycling”

A single valley in some remote area can easily swallow millions of tonnes of plastic

Expensive, energy utilizing recycling processes seem less environmentally friendly while also leaving more fossil fuel available for combustion use elsewhere
