Glassfibre can be burned but that produces toxic gases from the resin, which need to be dealt with (expensive) and leaves glass that is somewhat contaminated and difficult (expensive) to recycle.
In contrast, the landfill solution means that after a million years or two, soil microbes break down the resin leaving clean glassfibre for future generations to deal with.
Can an anon explain why landfills are a thing for me please? That seems like a very big waste of material.
