There are slogans;
"Waste not the waste."
"One persons trash is another persons treasure."
Very early one morning I cycled past some recycling bins .. about 5 of
them .. .. being emptied into one truck ... I was thinking of taking
some of my waste there for recycling. And we have had some news reports
of so called recycled things .. being dumped to land fill. Despite those
things, I do try to recycle.

that "waste" is more negative to me than recycling. Sorry.

Marc, I think that's probably sensible but suggest the rest of the
world
is not quite so mature. For most people, "disposal" is the key
issue, be
it rubbish or recyclables. More and more, when they get to the
disposal
site, they put what they can in the recycle bins. Good !
But primary action is to "dispose". So I think we need to think
the same
way, recycling and rubbish linked. It does mean, IMHO that some
existing
tags need to be depreciated, its the cost of getting a high level
waste
tag. And we do really need to recognise that generation of waste is
associated with most human activity, we need to deal with it.
