I wasn't trying to make an assumption - the report just didn't read how I expected. And I'm not absolving them of responsibility, but the richest countries pay to offload plastic on them knowing pretty well there is no way to get rid of it besides tossing it. Those Asian regions that burn it have awful air quality issues. Should these regions refuse money for our plastic? Probably - but this paints an incomplete picture.
