A completely ridiculous and nonsensical proposal I can only assume was said in jest.

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.

  • The company, sure, but selecting a fall guy to deal with arbitrary expenses will not help get anything done for the environment.

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.

  • See "core charges" for many automotive parts to incentivize the return of waste for refurbishing at the higher end and bottle deposits for cans/bottles at the lower end. It's weird how things so common in one part of our society can seem so foreign in others.
