In the dominant economic growth paradigm, recycling and re-use:
A. Are often discouraged because incentives lead economic agents to increase production at the lowest cost, which results in less recycling in many situations where it is more expensive than new resource extraction.
B. Are often encouraged due to incentives leading economic agents to increase production at the lowest cost, resulting in more re-use because people value existing products over newly manufactured ones.
C. Are discouraged, but incentives don't play a significant role in economic agents' decision-making.
D. Have no impact on economic agents' behavior.
