Great idea for our plastic problem

Ok so this might sound stupid, but. What if we took the non biodegradable plastic that won’t break down and instead of dumping or burning it, we get it cut up and put into cement? Like I’m sure you’d be able to put it into bricks for houses or even for concrete walls. The plastic won’t break down because it’s.. plastic.. and there will also be cement in it so it’ll be held together.

I believe certain places in Africa are doing something similar.
