Waste in any form should not be allowed to be taken out of the industries. They should be made to reclaim or rework the waste within their premises. They should be made to pay and take back their used product( like containers and bottles ) from the public at a nominal cost and reprocess it within their units. more

Industries manufacture the products as general(daily use), medical, electronics etc. These industries earned profit from selling above products. The basic need is to calculate the waste generated from each product and carbon consumption from these products when disposed by informal techniques. The government fixed carbon tax and every industries pays it before lauch of their product into markets. The recycling firm (same industry offers recycling or private recycle firm or government provided recycle firm) get returns from government agencies from taxation. more
