Burning plastic waste hardly the ideal situation

How about legislation to make it totally illegal to use plastic bags in many scenarios?
How about legislation to totally control the ingredients used to make plastic bags to ensure they do “break down” quickly in landfills, in whale stomachs, and so on.
How about educating school kids about the above so thatultimately society is well informed about this subject?

I do not think burning is a good solution, given that plastics are made of oil and gas. Dioxins given off from burning would enter the atmosphere.
More work is needed on the efficiency of incinerators that capture these harmful gases. Landfill is the best solution until there is real 100-per-cent efficiency of capture if burning is to take place. Plastics don’t break down in landfill, so the carbon is locked in. Heat generated from burning to use in power is also at best 25-35-per-cent efficient. This problem is a world one. Attitudes need changing and governments need to quickly bring in taxes for plastic use. 
As a kid, rounding up glass bottles to get money from recycling was a part time occupation. How, as a smart society, we went away from recycling I have never understood.

It would take a monumental revolution to wean Thailand and the world off plastics, in particular, plastic bags.
This will not happen in the near future.
High-temperature incinerators with emission controls are probably the simplest solution available in the short term. But with such mountains of trash stockpiling everywhere, the logistics of management would simply fail.
Unfortunately, while these incinerators work well, they will inevitably break and fall into disrepair.
