Thank you so much for looping me back in. I highly appreciate that.
Corrective measures are governmental intervention and help to create a sustainable, systematic process of recovery and reuse for recycling waste. We have done that in municipal water treatment and it has been extremely successful, but for some reason, for waste management it seems that it is very sporadic and there is no hard level like the rules and regulations that water has.
We have a really good method that we can follow because waste-water treatment and sewer systems have been extremely successful in cleaning our waters and making sure that our water quality is good. There have been many hundreds of chemists and environmentalists on this. Many methods have been developed to treat waste and reuse it, but it is not organized, and it's not government mandated. I believe that the government's mandating of this will help to organize it and give it structure, which it needs in order for it not to be the way it is currently.
Finally, on reuse of the materials by end-users—such as asphalt, cement and roof shingles—by companies that use the raw materials that are not so clean, the level of treatment that you have to do in order to make the waste reusable for clothing or bottles is much different than it is when you have to use it in cement or asphalt. Given that, intervention and giving them some sort of incentives would make it easier.
Thank you so much for the time you've given me.
