Just stop making it. The average person doesn’t get to choose how much plastic is in the production process for their items. We need laws to stop mega corporations destroying the planet for a tiny bit more profit.
We need oil to be more expensive but energy to be cheaper. Then more energy-intensive but more environmentally friendly alternatives can be used instead of (traditional) plastic.
Example: If energy was basically unlimited and free, suddenly the weight of glass as a product container doesn’t matter so much anymore. Same for steel and weirder things like products made out of thick, industrially-pressed fungus (which is a real thing, haha).
Burn it. With fire. In a proper industrial icinerator. That is the safest way to dispose of it.
