There are several ways to convert plastic garbage into useful energy, including:

Incineration: This involves burning plastic waste at high temperatures to generate heat, which can then be used to produce steam and drive turbines to generate electricity.

Pyrolysis: This is a process that involves heating plastic waste in the absence of oxygen to produce a gas that can be used to generate electricity or heat.

Gasification: This process involves heating plastic waste in the presence of a limited amount of oxygen to produce a gas that can be used to generate electricity or heat.

Depolymerization: This process involves breaking down plastic waste into its constituent parts through the application of heat and pressure. The resulting products can then be used as fuel.

Also in the constriction today we see houses made of that type of waste.
