[GreenYes] Re: economic instrument for zero waste

["precycled" <google@no.address>]

Thanks John
The OECD collection is big but a bit of a museum, holding only
established instruments without even mentioning the possibility that
new instruments may be needed for a serious effort at sustainability.

Good to see some interest in the new economic instrument 'precycling
insurance' described below. Precycling is a splendid American concept
which looks suitable for use in addressing both solid waste and
climate change preventively. Even possible to get rapid emissions
reductions without mandatory emissions caps.

Happy to send the pdf of the paper, being published in Journal of
Cleaner Production, to anyone who'd like to contact me:

The biggest solutions are the hardest to see.

> If global problems such as climate change and waste remain unresolved, society can choose either to continue attempting to incrementally reduce wastes and lessen impacts, or to consider a more ambitious approach that paradoxically may be easier to  implement. This paper suggests how an approach designed to prevent waste and other global impacts could be based upon the established practices of precycling, circular economic policy and recycling insurance. A new economic instrument called 'precycling insurance' is proposed, so that decision-making can be led by the market rather than by prescriptive regulation or educational campaigns. The approach gains relevance now that China is developing a national 'Law on the Promotion of the Development of Circular Economy'.
