Old concept - recycle. Proven to not be a real thing.

New concept - make infinite garbage - burn that shit.

Good to know it's "smart" incineration - not the bad old kind. Like "clean coal" - not the bad old dirty coal.

Good news for packaging industry - infinite demand to burn stuff up to make energy.

We're burning coal and gas to generate energy. Why not burn some plastic instead? It's not like it's worse than burning coal.
