    Mixing it with a binder, effectively embedding it into a semi buried rock a seems like a slightly safer option than letting it sit out in the sun to be broken down by UV.

      Who is leaving it in the sun? It’s supposed to be capped off at a landfill. Where it is sequestered to some degree. Any other use liberates the thousands of virtually unregulated additives, and the microplastics themselves.

      Not sure there are any “safe” options tbh but I’d rather it serve some purpose if it’s just going to break down either way, for sure.
