Plastic is not digestible. So creatures will wind up eating it, but they can't digest it. The elements from which it is made will not be usable by the ecology. This is a bigger problem in the oceans than it is in landfills. Plastic breaks down eventually, into small particles, but those particles remain indigestible. This is bad for the ecosystem.
