It is definitely a hard problem; we're not solving it at all in the current system. Look at how big oil colluded with the government and pushed for plastic we can't really recycle. If we can measure it and trace it back to polluting companies, everyone should be able to pool their collective power, via their dispute resolution agencies, and demand a trial, imposing fines, limits and what not. It's not going to be easy, but it won't be harder than it is now: corruption should be harder with competing dispute resolution agencies and customers can actually walk away and stop paying them if they don't act in their interest.
