The steam and gasses that goes into the air contains CO2, nitrogen, and other greenhouse gasses, toxins, ash and microplastics.
So, good, but not perfect. And it's expensive to build and operate.

I think I already posted the link to the trash to energy facility that is used for The Villages. The previous name of the facility was Covanta and is now called Reworld. Here is the site.......

Almost all plastics are just ethylene which is a naturally occurring plant hormone. They bio-degrade quite rapidly to CO2 and water especially in the sunlight and in water. Dumping plastic in the middle of the ocean is ideal. Y'all need to stop watching the idiot box.
