Theoretically, you could set a national plastics recycling target, and different sectors would engage in strategies. One recycles more than the other, and they could trade their recycling credits. That sounds good in theory, but I prefer looking at sectors and saying, “We use this much plastic in the manufacturing of vehicles. We need to have a strategy to recycle plastics in vehicles.” It's the same with electronics. When we regulate producer responsibility today, that's how we look at it. We look at tranches of products that are in the market. We just don't have very stringent plastics recycling targets associated with it, and we don't really even track where the plastics go once we recycle those plastics. I prefer looking at the portfolio of durable products that we have, what we're calling single-use products or short-lived products in the market, and then developing targets that are specific to the uses of those materials.
