Right. The author is clearly conflating orbital debris with re-entry pollution.
It is baffling to me that the BBC, a fairly respectable organization, allows this sort of terrible journalism. The author clearly does not understand the subject matter at all, which is not surprising since he's a business reporter regurgitating (presumably) a press release from a university and/or a forestry company.
