Increasing testing requirements to ensure it does ejects itself away from the LEO

You actually specifically want things to go to LEO before they die; when they're sufficiently low, atmospheric drag takes care of them quickly.

I agree with the overall direction of your point-that we need to be careful about our space junk-though :)
