ABSTRACT
The difference between under-supply and over-supply of recyclable material can be very narrow. More mills than ever are on-line with the latest technology. Companies and individuals are very much aware of the need to recycle, buy recycled, and reduce consumption in the first place. When US companies go into or expand in foreign markets, they must take responsibility for what they bring. Soft drinks manufacturers can introduce and be responsible for aluminum can and plastic bottle recycling. Computer and office machine manufacturers can choose to sell only newer technology that is energy efficient and easily recycled at the end of its life. In areas with few or no telephone services, perhaps wireless communication is a better solution than using cables and fiber. Maybe cogeneration and solar panels on buildings can abate the need for coal burning or nuclear power plants.
