But like i said above, roads and walls deteriorate too, the plastic only goes into the environment a century later then. Even if we build more like in the Pantheon, so it lasts millenia.
Yeah although unless we have a real chemical type recycling it is going to deteriorate somewhere as we handle it now. There also could be long term benefits. One problem with rebar is when the concrete cracks and water gets in the rebar starts to rust which is why the things come apart. It could possibly last longer. Its all sorta supposition at this point but if it is stronger than concrete it could be interesting.
Better to just burn plastics (with filters) to make electricity, imo. It’s like oil with extra steps then at least, instead of still going CO² but creating harm til then.
I mean it it did cause it to last longer with the rust thing I think that would be a better case. I mean concrete with rebar lasts a long time but if there is no rust of the rebar it should lasts like multiple facter levels longer. That is a lot of savings. Construction has a high co2 and other environmental costs. The longer something can go, in general, the better.
