Have a sales tax on each product that corresponds to the toxicity of its components.
Exempt recycled materials from the tax so companies have an incentive to collect old parts and recycle them, preventing them from going to a landfill.
- BrenBarn 2mo agoI'd rather just have a tax based on the size of the company. Little Larry's Amazing Electric Toothbrush Inc. can pay $5 and Apple can pay $500 billion.
- izacus 2mo agoNo. Also, EU can't levy taxes, so it's a moot question.
