Module 2: Recycling

Recycling is very important for our earth. It's important that every country can handle their own recycling, so we haven't to send the rubbish to other countries. Nations like Ghana, Nigeria, India, Vietnam, China, Indonesia, etc suffer because they don't have their whole recycling and waste management systems up to a certain level. Matthew Cleary, pointed out that legislation has a key role to play, so for example you could taxate landfill and that could stimulate recycling but on the other hand he says you can also let consumers pay for the recycling by paying a little bit extra for the product itself so that a consumer actually pays for the recycling after the life of the product she or he bought. But he also said it would increase the price of a product a little bit more and it would also maybe trigger the consumers to think about if they really need a product.

    I really enjoyed reading your post. Especially the point where the recycling costs should be included in the products price. That is a very interesting idea.
