A story similar to the one Peter Marcuse tells about asset-stripping of New York City tenements, but in a different context:
This is the vision of recycling we all want to hold dear in our heads as we wash up baked bean cans and sort wine bottles from plastic milk cartons ready for collection: confirmation that as much of our waste as possible is collected, sorted and sold on for a profit.

This is about deriving value from wasteand the possibility that all waste continues to hold potential value for someone, something, somewhere.
