There's actually two shopping centers across from each another under construction. Potential Line 5 metro station beneath in the works.
I was recently eating hotpot nearby. Aegean's grand opening is supposedly in 2-3 months, but a different section where Hema Supermarket situates is opening earlier... tomorrow.

JanJal, it comes down to picking your poisons....
Incineration w/o sorting create microplastic compounds that evaporate into the sky, condense into clouds, and rain microplastic debris into oceans en route breaching ecosystem circulation. To say nothing of direct inhalation of toxic air.
