I recommend reading this in Lucasarts gaming style text:

Meanwhile deep in a laboratory somewhere deep in the Caribbean…… several scientists hell bent on solving the landfill problem work frantically on bacteria which are capable of breaking down plastics as their primary food source.

I imagine solving landfill problems with a plastic bacteria just compounding our problems: A 400m-wide hotpot of bacteria, some of it escaping, people being infected in their house, spreading to a few blocks, kids not playing together “because his toys have the disease”…
good opportunity for metal toys
Or wood.
Yeah but then plastic would rot, and it wouldn't be worse at many things.
Yea but I don’t think anyone wants their bricks to rot
