We need to stop demonising landfill. I love landfill - it is a focused area to put toxic waste.
There is a massive problem with society's obsession with keeping stuff out of landfill.
Tell me would you rather have waste plastic in the contained area of landfill, or would you rather than plastic was put into roads and leeched into land, air, food, water, people, ground, earth and air as cars and trucks grind it out of the roads.
Its a good point tbh. We are continuing to learn about the harms of plastic and dividing and heating them are always central in this equation. Plastic roads just sound like a recipe for microplastic runoff.
That’s a fair point. I cringe when I see some dumb invention like turning plastic junk into toxic bricks. But even better would be to actually re-use the packaging like old school beer bottles and milk bottles. Industry has no problem standardizing containers when it suits them like shipping containers, kegs and pallets.
Greenwashing is the worst option of all as you waste your time on things that don’t work.
