BRILLIANT

happens more often than you'd think with recycling, granted on the backend

often it's more cost efficent for the "recyclers" to landfill material than actually process the recycling

mostly with recycled cardboard, a great deal of the bulk used to be shipped to china, who's industries bought it for like $30/ton... apparently the fiber sources needed to make bulk cardboard is either non-existant or just not enough

so the us would ship "recycled" cardboard over, they'd make more boxes to send us right back filled with shit.

as we're buying less shit, they need less boxes, they need less recycled cardboard, we sell less, price goes down, cheaper to landfill the cardboard then ship it over to china to sell for less than the shipping costs.

it's all about the $dollar buck benjamins

Dr. Doom, a man of science, doesn't believe in Black_God, so why the fuck do you?

1/12/2009 3:23:54 PM
