Polymers are often made from crude oil distillates that cannot be turned in to gasoline. We pay for crude oil, what sense does it make to put it back in the ground where it serves no useful purpose, and is so stable it will not become crude oil again?
Additionally, some polymers leach compounds into the ground water, which can become a problem for future generations (some we cannot foresee, of course).
The validity of the above answers are questionable but it is true that polymers are very stable. It is not known how long plastic will remain in a landfill so it will continue to accumulate. Some envision a world where there are large mountains of plastic trash. I hope that world never comes.

What animals live in landfill?
Animals that may be found in landfills include rats, mice, birds (such as seagulls), insects (such as flies and cockroaches), and scavenging mammals like raccoons and opossums. These animals are attracted to landfills in search of food and shelter.
Does burying a dead pet smell?
Burying a dead pet can create some temporary odor as the body decomposes. The smell will eventually dissipate as the body breaks down. It's important to choose a location for burial that is far enough away from your living space to prevent any unpleasant odor.
What polymers carry the information for cell growth and reproduction from one generation to another?
DNA is the polymer that carries genetic information from one generation to another.
How much substrate do you put in a 6.3 million gallon aquarium?
Depends on the tank inhabitants. On average a pound per gallon is an adequate amount. For species who like to dig or burying themselves deeper would be more beneficial.

What is the term for burying waste underground?
The term for burying waste underground is "landfilling." Landfilling involves disposing of waste by burying it in designated landfill sites, which are engineered to minimize environmental impacts.
What is an adavantage of burying waste in landfill sites?

What are the problemes with burying waste in landfill sites?
It can damage our environment. Also will damage the underground animals!
When was the first landfill created?
The first modern landfill is often credited to the Fresno Municipal Sanitary Landfill in California, which began operating in 1937. This landfill introduced the concept of burying waste in trenches instead of incinerating it, setting the standard for modern landfill design and management.
What are the good of burying waste in landfill sites?
energy can be converted by the conversion of landfilled gas and it kills animals underground
Why do natural polymers not pose as much of an issue in landfills as synthetic polymers Natural polymers are cheap to recycle and synthetic polymers are expensive to recycle. Natural polymers are expe?
Natural polymers are biodegradable, meaning they can be broken down by bacteria and other organisms in the environment. This process helps to reduce the amount of natural polymers going to landfills. Synthetic polymers, on the other hand, are not easily biodegradable and can persist in the environment for a long time, contributing to landfill waste issues.
Why is the disposal of polymers by incineration and in landfill sites?
Disposal of polymers via incineration is done to reduce the volume of waste and generate energy. Landfill disposal is used when recycling or incineration is not feasible, contributing to pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Both methods have negative environmental impacts and should be minimized through waste reduction and recycling efforts.

Wht is landfill?

What are the three methods of dealing with waste polymers?
They go almost a thousand years (maybe more…) without decaying and they can be not broken down by decomposers.Polymers can be difficult to dispose of because they do not break down easily.Hope that helps.
