Recycle More Plastic
Recycle More Plastic: Currently recycled plastic is used in decking boards such as Trex. Great durability and a high percentage of recycled material, but more expensive than wood in most cases. I propose that plastic bottle recycle fees be adjusted to allow for subsidizing the cost of plastic decking so that there is more demand for these products which take plastic out of the waste stream. This could be done even at the city level by placing the subsidy payment to follow a building inspection and having bottle fees at the city level, but would be better at the state level. If you like this idea please forward it to your representatives or repost for more distribution.
