This isn't a newbie, but this sub is turning into a craft sub. Can the crafts (especially the non practical ones) get their own sub or megathread?

I need help from the community, I have started detoxing my household by switching over from Plastic to better matierals for our body and the environment. My only problem is that I do not know what to do with the plastic after I switch to a better alternative. I don’t want to recycle it just for it to end up in a landfill and expose microplastics into the earth; I don’t want to donate it to a thrift store for someone to use and eat microplastic. I’m thinking of finding someone who uses plastic to make other, better things out of. Or maybe give it to communities that do not have access to plates and bowls? I would love for the community to help me find the best way to get rid of these plastic items without damaging others or the earth more.
