Inequitable
For 30 years I have been buying and selling and value-adding spent and recycled products from steel mills in North America. I have never gotten one pound free. Yet I still managed to make a couple of bucks.
However, in the residential recycling industry consumers jump through hoops to make money for the recycling company.
Consumers buy the products that end up being recycled.
Consumers buy special packaging to isolate recyclables.
Waste Management (or whoever) gets a product to sell with no cost of raw materials other than material handling.
Consumers are supposed to be content with a "warm fuzzy" for being "green".
Where's the consumers' cut?
