This article is from 2016 but it talks about Carbon Capture And Storage in Iceland where it is turned into stone in basalt rock deep underground. Towards the end it talks about CCS in general.

The article calls it the canary in the coalmine. But this Thwaites is bigger than the UK and the size of Florida. If it breaks off and melts it could raise sea levels by 65 cm or 25 inches. With other melting ice such as Greenland, the sea level could rise by as much as

Ten years ago today, the major earthquake hit off the coast of Japan, causing a tsunami that devastated Japan and caused the meltdown of three of the Fukushima Daiichi Power Plant’s reactors.
This lady is turning plastic waste into paving bricks and later into building bricks. And they’re strong! The only thing I would be concerned about is if they are fireproof. But the paving blocks are used where fire is not a big problem. And it puts a growing environmental problem to good use, solving two
