I don't think this kind of solution works to be honest. This creates a right to pollute or generate waste more than focusing on solving the original problem.
Having clear regulation and forbid this kind of practice that apply to everybody, not just the poor.
A tax would not solve anything, it would just give a free pass to the wealthier part of the world to pollute and generate waste. The wealthy parts of the world are the biggest source of waste and polution in the first place.
It would also allow powerful companies to bargain between countries and continue playing the dog and cat game they've been doing. Trying to force companies like Apple or Gooogle to pay existing taxes is already a lost cause. Those companies don't care about it and would rather invest in avoidance schemes.
On the contrary, if you hit where things are sold, like closing a whole market like the EU until you abide to a regulation, like the one mentionned in my comment, is much likely to have a real impact, and would be much faster to.
