It would ideal to price in end of life costs. Oh, it takes $100 to return that $50 item to usable materials? It is now a $150 item. Of course, you should also price in the environmental costs of manufacturing, shipping, and using the thing. So many challenges with this. How do you quantify the environmental cost for an object over its entire life cycle? How do you efficiently route the new funds to actually mitigate the damage? How do you handle the inevitable black markets? How do you avoid regressive effects? I don’t have answers for all these. I just think “The Biome” is the scarce resource we should be using money to allocate.
