So many powerful countries/companies thumb their noses at institutions who have been appointed to act as our collective moral conscience. When we see evidence of these sorts of actions, it's no wonder oppositional countries refuse to be horsewhipped into line. Why would they when it's quite obvious there is no unity or sense of common purpose?

US navy submarines jettison all garbage overboard. It gets compacted into perforated cannisters weighted to sink to the bottom. Unless we're going to be at see for less than two weeks or won't make it out past 50 miles then we keep it onboard for disposal in port.
What sucks is cannisters that have to be disassembled because we got called back to port on short notice. Then we get to disassemble them and then seperate the garbage for recycling.
