It’s supposed to be a game of cat and mouse, but right now the cat isn’t even trying. I think what’s needed is some sort of ‘living legislation’ that constantly updates to close loopholes that stakeholders find in it. Iirc this should be possible in common law systems with deliberately vague laws whose interpretation keeps getting updated by court cases.
What if we injected a little bit of plastic into the brains of big plastic executives every time the plastic in the ocean increased a measurable amount?
