The plastics industry has heralded a type of chemical recycling it claims could replace new shopping bags and candy wrappers with old ones — but not much is being recycled at all, and this method won’t curb the crisis.

    If we’re not going to recycle it, we might as well burn it as fuel in a power plant. Anything is better than throwing it in a landfill or shipping it off to another country.

      Idk is it really better to contribute more to air pollution and greenhouse gases or to put it underground?
