Do you know what happens to your tires when they go from new with full tread to smooth with no tread? Adding some plastic to the road will add very little and may actually reduce some pollution since road-tire interactions can convert some of those plastics/rubbers.

just a little micro plastics, as a treat

Does adding tires and plastic bottles to clinker during cement production increase pollution and microplastics or decrease them?

Ah, yes... the old "acting responsibly here won't completely solve the problem, so we might as well act irresponsibly" argument.

Explain why it is irresponsible. Did you read what I wrote?
