The largest cost in recycling is the cost of collection, sorting, and transportation. Many cities subsidize this portion of recycling. RJ Reynolds is the only major firm that views recycling as a profit center. Aluminum cans are collected by Reynolds at special centers. Reynolds uses these cans to generate new aluminum. Other recycling can return to industry as an input; however, none of this is happening at a profit. All must be subsidized. You might want to challenge your students to come up with methods that exploit recycling by cities as an input into a production process.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
