Junk mail is made out of paper. Paper is fully biodegradeable and will compost easily in a landfill. Plastic is not biodegradeable, and will not compost at all.
While I don't like junk mail and definitely throw most of it away, I have fewer concerns about waste with it because of the fact that it will break down at the landfill.
