I think the problem is people from rich country blame the people from poorer country because they let the corrupt politicians turn their country to dumping grounds. But people from rich country doesn’t care that their politicians let their country exporting waste to poorer country.

I would even be fine with that, if there was some highly specialized recycling facility in one of those poorer countries.

Seems like they are just building landfills with all of that, or just dump it somewhere, though.

I am quite sure there is a lot of pressure on politicians to not let their countries export trash in rich countries and zero in poor countries. There are even laws in that regard [1]. I am in awe by the amount of hate the west gets.
