    Plus burning it allows those toxins to disperse across the environment while more traditional recycling can keep the toxins mostly concentrated on landfill/processing sites.

        The post was not clear to me that OP was talking about incineration facilities, I know several people who burn plastics and garbage frequently on their own property/camping. Even well filtered incinerators have a considerable amount of fallout.
