It doesn’t really degrade in a landfill though. Industrial composting is something I wish was more popular though, that would probably reduce my actual trash by about 50%.
I actually separate my burnables and compost the ashes, but I understand that most people can’t diy that. I think Japan has separate receptacles for burnables.
There’s plenty of paper that could get recycled as well that can’t in a single stream. I agree plastic going to a landfill is better though.
At the very least, paper is renewable and biodegradable.
