The problem is not with not being able to reuse the plastics, it's people throwing them into the trash.

There are some new PLA based Bioplastics being developed which are safe to burn and will compost under the right conditions but are currently more costly then traditional PET plastics. There is also fear that the PLA plastics will be mistakenly recycled with PET plastics which will ruin the entire batch.

If people would recycle their plastics the problem would stop growing. It still doesn't solve getting the tons of plastic already in the ocean out.

Only 24% of plastics are recycled versus 80% of paper products.
