Just reading in todays paper about the projected collapse of SKM Recycling, Victorias largest recycling company.In the editorial it claims that we are all responsible for not recycling/repairing items instead just going out and replacing something when it breaks. We all know that most items are glued together instead of screwed etc because it is cheaper to manufacture in this way. I don't really think that a manufacturer sets out to make things impossible to pull apart, it is just that they find the cheapest way to manufacture. From what I read regarding the SKM problems it seems that once China stopped taking our waste, SKM have just become overloaded with councils dumping their recycling problem on them and then being paid $30 per tonne for the dumping of their rubbish. Something sounds really suss about all this
