It will be clear that if such avoided costs were to be included in the recycling dynamic, then recycling might be more viable. But, it is worth pointing out, that recycling involves transportation of large amounts of material as well. So the real answer may be waste reduction and reuse, and not recycling. This question illustrates the torturous complexities of such issues, and perhaps helps explain why inaction is the usual response.
