Did we read the same article? Isn't the article basically saying that even if rich countries completely stopped exporting waste, it wouldn't make _that_ much of a difference? i.e > If rich countries banned the export of plastic waste to these countries, we might reduce plastic pollution a bit: perhaps up to 5%. > But, an end to trade won’t stop plastic pollution. Only a small fraction of the world’s plastic waste is traded – under 2%. And most – two-thirds of it – ends up in richer countries, where it’s very unlikely to end up in the ocean.
