A recent MIT conference on durable products recycling highlights different challenges facing suppliers, manufacturers, and recyclers. These challenges include uncertainty about the environmental benefits of recycling, unstable markets for recycled materials, variable quality, and lack of support from citizens and government. Conference discussions suggest directions for public and private policy in the US. Government should focus upon stregthening market opportunities for recycling, for example, by eliminating federal subsidies for virgin materials extraction. Industry should work to improve product recyclability. While European countries are developing policies to require producers to take responsibility for products after they become obsolete, it appears that such policy approaches fail to address challenges identified at the conference.
