why are plastics so much worse than other non biodegradable things like concrete or rock?

I understand that plastics are bad for the environment but why are they so much worse then any other rocks and sand that are always present. If plastics can’t biodegrade why can’t they be considered as a somthing like sand after a certain point.

[someone please emphasise/ correct if I’m wrong] It mainly boils down to the question: How do I dispose of this item?
Plastic is a artificial material that is mass produced and takes a long time (thousands of years, even millions in some cases) to decompose. Unlike most other materials which eventually decompose in a shorter time compared to plastics.
