Best we can do to accomplish what goal? If we’re just talking about keeping it out of oceans then thats fine. But let’s not do semantic gymnastics and call it recycling.

No semantics needed. In both cases waste plastic is transformed into feedstock for a process that would have otherwise extracted non-renewable resources.

Except one works but gives people the geebee geebes. The other one makes us forget our opulent consumption but doesn’t work and kills marine life.
