Why Do We Recycle?: Markets, Values, and Public Policy
Posted on 2010-04-14
|  |
More The earnest warnings of an impending "solid waste crisis" that permeated the 1980s provided the impetus for the widespread adoption of municipal recycling programs. Since that time America has witnessed a remarkable rise in public participation in recycling activities, including curbside collection, drop-off centers, and commercial and office programs. Recently, however, a backlash against these programs has developed. A vocal group of "anti- recyclers" has appeared, arguing that recycling is not an economically efficient strategy for addressing waste management problems. In Why Do We Recycle? Frank Ackerman examines the arguments for and against recycling, focusing on the debate surrounding the use of economic mechanisms to determine the value of recycling. Based on previously unpublished research conducted by the Tellus Institute, , a nonprofit environmental research group in Boston, Massachusetts, Ackerman presents an alternative view of the theory of market incentives, challenging the notion that setting appropriate prices and allowing unfettered competition will result in the most efficient level of recycling. Among the topics he considers are: * externality issues-unit pricing for waste disposal, effluent taxes, virgin materials subsidies, advance disposal fees * the landfill crisis and disposal facility siting * container deposit ("bottle bill") legislation * environmental issues that fall outside of market theory * calculating costs and benefits of municipal recycling programs * life-cycle analysis and packaging policy-Germany's "Green Dot" packaging system and producer responsibility * the impacts of production in extractive and manufacturing industries * composting and organic waste management * economics of conservation, and material use and long-term sustainability
