The Danger of Burning Plastics

When we burnt plastic in natural temperature, some chemicals contains on plastic can't be destroyed, so some dangerous chemicals created when plastic burns. Municipal solid waste incenerators like double chamber incenerators at Energy from Waste Plant can reach temperature of 1800 degrees Fahrenheit (983 ^oC), by providing much oxygen to complete burning process. Barrels and wood stoves only tend to smoulder and smoke, releasing plumes of toxic fallout into your backyard and the surrounding community. In addition, this leaves you with potentially hazardous ash, which is not appropriate to spread on the soil.

Plastic such as PVC is common in such things as vinyl siding, bottles and jugs, vinyl tubing, drainpipes, blister packs etc. Care should be taken never to burn these at home, as carbon monoxide, dioxins and furans are released into the air. Studies have linked dioxins and furan to cancer and respiratory disease.
