#4 "buried or recycled somewhere else‐or not manufactured at all" There is yet another option: just pile it up at the point where the plastic stops being used. Don't bother to recycle. When folks are knee deep in their own debris, the problem will solve itself, one way or 'tother.

#6 Maybe turn it into big chunks and use it to build an artificial island near theirs in the South China sea, militarize it, shine lasers at everything that moves, and don't let anyone fly near it.
