I used to work for a specialty waste company. We would brag about our ability to recycle better than any of our competitors. Because we would burn most of the waste.
If what is burned is used to creat electricity, then in a way it is recycling. Burning trash isn’t a bad thing if it’s done properly and if what’s burned isn’t otherwise recyclable. Plastics should probably be burned at this point rather than thrown in a landfill or tossed in the ocean.
Burning waste qualifies as recycling.
