The problem is we are only paying for half the lifecycle of the product. Start charging disposal fees to companies for every plastic/non-recycleable bit, and your head will spin at how fast they can get us 90-100% repairable, recyclable, and re-useable products.

    I think it should work like bottle deposits.

    Make producers pay a fee per unit of crap they make - plastic, forever chemicals, whatever - and then refund them based on the amount they can remove from the environment and store safely.

    Passes the deposit cost to the consumer with an added fee.
