"The interesting thing is that it's actually a new take on the old economy because we always used to reuse everything. That was the economy for most of human civilization. It was waste-not-want-not. It was use it up. Make it last and reuse it as much as possible until you have something that you can't reuse anymore. That is how human civilizations have operated since really the dawn of civilization."
