Burn it.

Burn it and use pyrolisis reactors to make something else or just burn it as fuel with the right filters.

And then please use PEF..

This scheme + just burning in general in modern facilitires will be easier and more logical than the population separating the plastics so they get loaded in a ship sent towards some poor place, as we do now.

Not ideal, while relatively clean, it still pollutes.. but way better than other options, including direct landfill.

With the ash, you can make ceramics and concrete.

So we basically would not throw away anything but reuse 100% of it and save money.. but some pollution would occur.
