Preview Improving Recycling Markets

Description:
Markets for many classes of potentially recyclable materials are growing. However, market failures and barriers are constraining some markets.

This report presents the case for the use of 'industrial' policies which address such market failures and barriers as complements to more traditional environmental policies. Indeed, encouraging ever-higher recycling rates in the absence of such complementary measures may impose very high social welfare costs.
