It could be probably be mitigated with some sort of coating.

It would be more expensive, but it would still allow for the repurposing of waste plastic.

There must be some applications though. Perhaps in the initial foundation which is probably waterproofed and underground?

Or internal partitioning walls that get painted or plastered over?

First in epoxy, then concrete, and then concrete mixed with epoxy for good measure.
