As a result, Hasenkamp says the quality of recycling has faltered, while the cost of recycling has risen. As part of his new vision, he wants a central point of operation, to eliminate privatization of waste management. He also says new rules should be implemented to call for higher recycling quotas.
In addition, Hasenkamp says, garbage disposal and separation should be regulated differently, because materials such as glass, paper and metal already carry value, and therefore should not be disposed of through a product return system.
