Plastic waste is a resource. Items for recycling have to be washed before it is handed over to your recycling partner. Rest waste has to be treated with care. Hopefully it can be reused. In worst case it can be burned in relevant ovens that make steam and electricity or hot water. It shall not end in landfills!
