    I am calling them as a whole orbital debris

    Ah, the term “orbital debris” refers to “defunct human-made objects in orbit which no longer serve a useful function”. Operational satellites do not fall into this category.

    As for aluminum oxide pollution in the stratosphere, that is a serious issue which SpaceX needs to address. However, I’m not sure that stratospheric pollution would fall under the jurisdiction of NASA’s new orbital debris division.
