Analysis of ewaste true value

**msearl3244** · 10-03-2012, 06:29 AM

Aside from the other things that people already mentioned, there are so many things that you did not mention in you addressing the real value of ewaste. Most of the things you failed to mention make you bottom line plummet. A few quick examples are as follows. Fuel, Electricity, Insurance, Environmental cost, Permits, Employs, Commercial Real Estate. If you want to share some of this "SO CALLED" Profit margin then you must be willing to share in the expenses and risk also. You live in the greatest country in the world. You are FREE to start you own refinery and rake in the big bucks yourself. I will instead stat grateful for the opportunity to be able to sell my e-waste to people down stream who handle it in a safe manner. And I for one hope to God that they prosper so that they will be there to buy from me tomorrow.

I have to agree.....I buy locally and my customers are more than happy with the prices I give them.........I then ship to ewasted and make my 20 to 30% then I'm sure he makes his % and this is what makes the world go around. If I was to worry about all these yields etc I would drive myself crazy (LOL)

For me its Canada. Why? Because I am free to move within it or even outside of it and still come HOME. That is what makes a country the best; not healthcare, nor pension, nor world wealth, its FREEDOM. And so far we have that and so does the US.

Lets be honest, most of the permits and laws for refineries were done to keep others from starting up their own. The cost of entry is getting too expensive and eventually all the smaller operations will be baught out so that only a few control the whole pipeline and they will then change pricing to keep all the profits. The EPA will fine a billion dollar operation the same as it will a small mom and pop operation, guess who can afford to pay the fees and not even notice it (of course the older operations will also get grandfathered in unlike the new startup). Every industry ends up as a monopoly that keeps others from sharing in the profit.
