Turning plastic into fuel is probably the only practical way to re purpose it.

Food, different feed-stock, ect, are all small details when you're operating at high T needed to cleave bonds to make fuel. Cleaved bond -> food molecule is no longer food

Recycling never cleaves any bonds, so the food is still there causing problems.
