That's basically what's happening with them besides the ones that are burned or buried.

One potentially bad thing is that plastics degrade and leach into the environment over time.

Is it preferable to burn coal and natural gas then? I'm not saying you're wrong (you could be right) but let's not forget why we are pushing for renewable energy.

Definitely better than burning coal. Doesn't mean we shouldn't look for ways to reduce or recycle waste products.
