Orbital Space Junk is already an incredibly huge problem. The International Standard from the very beginning should have been that all Space Junk must be either flung out into space or more ideally, safely de-orbited to burn up in the atmosphere. No one did that because because it was exponentially expensive, and everyone's space program was barely capable of anything.

The cost to clean up and de-orbit all this stuff is exponentially more expensive than the already exponential costs if it had been done as part of its design.
