So the fact that “new” news print is $400+ per ton, in any given year, but recyled is 160 per ton, looks like a good thing. The paper is waste in America, creates waste hauler jobs, creates recyled plant jobs and save the printing industry 50%. These all sound like good conservative business practices.
As an engineer, this isn’t news. There are things that should be recycled (steel for instance), but a lot of it is just a boondoggle.
Because the glass hasn't been contaminated or mixed with other colored glass yet?
Before our township took over the trash/recycling collection, Waste Management gave us a credit for recycling. Wasn't much, about $15 and we separated the "recyclables". When the city took it over everything gets tossed into the same bin and no more credit.
