There is the question of interrogating this issue of balance. We can have a perfect standard that can only be reached in a pristine environment using virgin material. We can have that standard and say it is the Rolls Royce standard. However, if we want to reuse material and bring it into a workshop, ipso facto, we cannot get that Rolls Royce standard. We are in a different environment. I do not think it is good enough to say, "let us stick to the standards". We have to decide if the standard that was designed for those environments is still the standard in a world that is climate challenged, has biodiversity problems and all the rest of it.
