For things that can be landfilled safely, I believe this is the best option. Technology for recycling will improve over time and demand for the materials will increase until it makes total sense to recycle it rather than forcing it now.
- nashashmi 7y agoSome items cannot be landfilled resourcefully, like metals. They need to be recycled now or they rust.
- benj111 7y agoDoes the recycling process not get rid of oxides? Aluminum oxidises quickly, and it's not as if many metals come out of the ground oxide free.
- maxerickson 7y agoEnergy has to get super cheap before it makes sense to process landfills just to clean them up, and that probably happens before they are an economically interesting source of materials.
