I’m actually fine with dumping waste glass and cullet in the deep ocean. It’s inert, non-biodrgradable, non-polluting, and it’s made of the same stuff that’s already there, silica.
I’d also be in favour of carbon sequestration by filling decomissioned sea containers with woodchips from tree trimmings, and sinking these in the deep ocean, below 6km. The cold and lack of light would prevent bacterial breakdown of the wood, and so it wouldn’t rot and release it’s carbon back to the atmosphere for thousands of years. The steel sea can would eventually break down into iron oxide. You could sequester 30 tons of carbon per sea can that way. One containership could dump a quarter million tons of carbon in one trip.
