Edward buys a water bottle reuses it twice and then recycles it Eleanor buys a water bottle reuses it 12 times and then throws it away which energy costs would apply to Edwin but not to Eleanor a the cost of processing the bottle after it is no longer used be the cost of producing the original bottle see the cost of transporting the bottle away from the house deed the cost of transporting the bottle to the store
The cost of processing the bottle after it is no longer used would apply to Edwin but not to Eleanor. Since Edwin recycles the bottle, there is an additional energy cost associated with processing the bottle for recycling. Eleanor, on the other hand, throws the bottle away, so this processing cost would not apply to her.
