A long time ago (2? years back) I remember a guy on Joe Rogan speaking how 'the best case scenario' is to burn that plastic. I did some reading about the fact, spoke with a guy that I knew that owns a "recycling factory" and I was 'convinced' that realistically this is (and should be) happening.

We know that now 'they' lied to us and most plastic is NOT recyclable, and they did so only to continue the oil business.

Seeing the map (Finland, Turkey, France), and in the past having garbage shipped all over the planet, do people calculate the "carbon tax" to move X tonnes to another country? The total cost of extract the energy from (the) earth (petrol for ships, fuel for planes, etc.)? Would it be better to use modern filters (as others wrote in comments) and burn them at the place of production?
