The worth is zero because the producer doesn't pay for the externalities (pollution, landfill usage etc). So essentially it is "free" because it is subsidized by everyone.

The "headache" is just : produce what you sell, sell what you produce, don't fill the world with your shit.

The Pacific Ocean, I think.

That is not a landfill.

I think they misspoke - they likely meant the north atlantic ocean: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/ghana-becomes-dumping-grou...

Since you seem to have missed the point:

tell that to the people putting the waste into it.

Almost no plastic waste in first world countries ends up in the ocean, thankfully

Also, you probably meant to say "developed" countries and not "first world".
