Just thinking in terms of compared to microplastics and toxins in recycled plastic.

    Still not a great idea to burn recyclable resources. The stuff that would otherwise end up in a landfill, sure, but most plastics can be used again in some way.

      When deciding to incinerate over recycle, that means the system has constrains on recycling ability or success such that incineration is preferable

      So if the choices are plastic in the dump/plastic in the ocean or incineration, then there’s a real decision to be made.

      These are real world systems, not classrooms
