In the case of TVs and CRTs, the disposal costs are not borne by the consumer or the producer. What needs to happen is that products become more and more modular and recyclable, to the point that buying a TV would be more like subscribing to a service than buying property. You'd get a TV, and then in a year or two, you'd return it for an upgrade. The TV service company would take your old TV and re-use its components to create new ones. The remaining waste would ideally feed into other products, or be a recyclable or biodegradable material. -- http://www.xoverboard.com/cartoons/2007/070416_argument.html
