The implication of where financial HQ is located is non-sequitur in my opinion. All those companies have massive volumes of sales across the world. You have rich and middles classes everywhere, buying these products all over the world. My point is that focusing on the 'rich nations are sending their garbage to poor nations' (which is still true) deviates from the cause which is a handful of companies forcing plastic packaging on consumers to reduce their packaging and shipping costs all while painting it as convenient for consumers, lying about the packaging 'recyclability' (just because it technically is recycable doesn't make economically feasible), and externalizing the environmental costs of their packaging (you now have microplastics circulating in our water cycle, embedded in glaciar ice, plastic in breast milk, plastic in intra-uterine placenta, etc.).
