Yes you can remelt plastic into bricks. You can even extrude it into 3D printer filament and make stuff. Heck it can even be turned into fuel.

But the article is talking about general waste. Joe Schmoe is not going to sort plastic by type and 3D print anything or pressure cook it into burnable fuel. That shit goes straight into a landfill.
