No. That would be even worse as most plastics when burned off gas some nasty shit. For example polycarbonate (one of the most used plastics) when burned releases chlorine. Chlorine gas was used heavily by the Germans in world war 1 as a weapon. Another is ABS or any styrene based plastic will release hydrogen cyanide.
