Now cost asides...can't we just smelt plastic into igneous rocks? I'm sure we can achieve the temperature & pressure to do it.
Plastics Mainly Composed of C H O N Cl S.
N H Cl are all trappable within rock layers.
Additives like Si and Fe can be added in various steps of heating to form silica and compounds like Iron Sulfide
Surely some fancy gas collecting can be done as well to separate things out further in the pot so they don't remix.
some of the gasses that reform under high temp & pressure such as CO2 can be offset by planting more flora in cityscapes..
Earth's beginning atmospheric conditions had a composite of Methane, Carbon Dioxide, Hydrogen Sulfide.
Assuming you can achieve similar conditions..these + rocks would be your very first precipitates out as gas that is manageable by today's standards.
Leaving plastic mixes with higher N Cl content...by reintroducing different minerals and varying the Temp at pressure as the stage progresses, we should be able to create rock that seals the remaining stuff in the form of things like Salt and Ammonium.
Jobs for people, companies get a better rep (seriously billions of dollars I have doubts this is not achievable), environment get safer. And Costs of doing this can be offset a little by raising prices of plastic related goods which also helps address consumption issues of such products within their mind as the price starts to reflect unto their purchasing habits.
Inb4 plastic tax XD
