@pixx @eniko @angelastella @gabrielesvelto @cederbs why do people incinerate plastic? Is that better than burying it in a landfill?

@angelastella @pixx @eniko @gabrielesvelto @cederbs I know at least some plastics do burn, but I imagine the energy density is pretty low since it’s the made from the stuff that gets removed when refining fossil fuels. And the fumes are awful. But I guess using it to power something is better than burning it because it’s cheaper than shipping it to a landfill
