I've already addressed that -- as I said in one of the ancestor comments to this one, "As far as I understand things, the majority of plastic pollution comes from poor waste management practices. With good waste management practices, there aren't any issues with plastic pollution. If this is true, then why should the companies who make the products be at fault? The waste management practices are the responsibility of parties such as governments." To clarify that a bit, my understanding is that it comes from those countries that have poor waste management practices, and that many countries already have reasonably good practices. I also saw an article recently claiming that the majority of ocean waste comes from ships disposing of their waste at sea. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21135259 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21135259
