There are many different kinds of plastic in use today, and it is unfortunate the planet is covered in them.... It would be cool if there were some kind of harmless chemical process discovered that allowed plastics to be melted and reshaped into sculptures by artists. That way instead of having plastic garbage litter the planet, there would be beautiful sculptures serving as a reminder of our collective struggles under mass manufacturing.

I think firstly though a way to reign in plastic manufacturing for popular interest would be beneficial in slowing this production. Otherwise it could go the way of carbon credits and become a market that reallocates its poisoning of the planet to less represented hemispheres.
