"every product will need to be designed as easily and efficiently recyclable" Yes, this is it. With some planning, regulation and 'sustainable' thinking around product design, it seems possible to me this could work. We currently put 0 effort into how packaging 'deconstructs' into something recyclable. Some work there could yield tremendous difference. Maybe even totally painless on the part of the consumer, i.e. 'it just works'.
