This is to get people thinking beyond "turn-and-burn". Choose a type of item, assume you have a steady supply of it, and you must make sure absolutely no part of it would go to the scrap yard, to the landfill, or even recycling (except regular garbage). No reselling whole items as-is, or parting out to a traditional buyer. Suppose you have 1000 of that item, and more coming. What components could you sell to non-traditional markets? If no market seems to exist for a particular component, how could you create a market for it? What are some ways you can work with other people to create markets for things you would normally toss in a scrap bin? Do not make profitable calculations at this point, and assume you have available funds to start a venture.. it is just brainstorming.
