You realize the microplastics are still released from a capped landfill, right?…
I’m not necessarily saying this is a better option, but you’re talking like a capped landfill is the best solution out there, and hand waving any argument against it.
There’s also the problem of landfills taking decades to fill, with UV breaking down the topmost layer, heat breaking down internal layers, and water flowing through (and needing to be treated in the best case scenario).
