The expression "per capita generation of single-use plastic trash" may be a bit confusing. It is referring to the generation (creation) of single-use plastic trash, per capita (per person). Thus, you can understand the speaker as saying, the amount of single-use plastic trash created by each individual in Japan. She is saying that based on this average amount, Japan creates the second largest amount of single-use plastic trash in the world, per person.
