    That’s why they should pay a tax for every pound of plastic they produce, with an equivalent refund for every pound they certifiably dispose of properly.

    When you have to clean up your own mess you get good at it.

      They won’t even clean up their own oil well sites. Look up how many oil companies hide all their profits and then declare bankruptcy so that they can get the taxpayers to clean up after a given oilfield runs dry.

      I don’t have a lot of hope in them taking care of the other end of the process either, unless it’s by force.
