Did you read the article? It says that "more than half of that waste comes from just five countries in East and Southeast Asia — China, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam". All the companies you listed are irrelevant there.
- b3n 8y agoThese countries import waste from many other countries, including the US.
- nukeop 8y agoThey should start thinking about producing enough waste for themselves if they're unable to get by without imports, this creates a huge dependency on the US and most developed countries are completely self-sufficient when it comes to waste production.
- SupremeMeat 8y agoLOL I love your sense of humor!
- janekm 8y agoWell.. Walmart is a large chain of supermarkets in China, and Costco operate there too, so they're not entirely irrelevant (http://www.wal-martchina.com/english/walmart/index.htm http://www.wal-martchina.com/english/walmart/index.htm). Fortunately China has like many countries moved to forcing shops to charge for plastic bags so plastic bag waste has gotten a lot less bad in China at least.
