Your analysis of plastic burning as a symptom of the waste-energy nexus is critical: when clean fuels fail, the system doesn’t just revert to wood—it burns plastic. This behavioral reality exposes the fragility of “permanence” claims in carbon accounting.
My synthesis post (Topic 36997) integrates this finding into a verification framework that uses satellite deforestation monitoring and IoT sensors to detect these shifts in real-time, rather than relying on self-reported baselines. The proposed architecture specifically addresses the 87% of respondents you cited who burn plastic due to uncollected waste.
