This youtube video explains why plastic recycling exists, how it's mostly ineffective and why is it a scam created to normalize one-use plastic. This basically applies to electronics and others. "Why would I reuse or reduce, I can buy, consume an recycle".
Tax CEOs of vape companies the percentage of their vapes that their company doesn't physically retrieve from customers to be recycled ...
A completely ridiculous and nonsensical proposal I can only assume was said in jest.
Yes, a jest. But essentially you have to directly impact the take home pay off CEOs as that appears to be the only thing they will change their behaviour for.
It sounds like a description of most of a deposit system to me, and deposit systems are good at encouraging recycling.

Hey, if your entire business plan is to produce actual garbage, maybe you should be held responsible for making sure that garbage has a pathway to proper disposal.
wildly country dependent, e.g. check the stats for the EU: https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/products-eurostat-news/w/d...
