Island countries like the Philippines and Indonesia also tend to have issues with a lot of waste getting into the ocean quickly. In a landlocked country the odds of your properly disposed of plastic waste reaching the ocean are pretty slim.

The real answer for plastic disposal is "Waste to Energy". Plastic burns very well, you just need to burn it hot enough that it doesn't emit dioxins. What we need is a technological solution that can be mass produced and distributed across the developing world so people can collect and incinerate their plastic safely.
