The costs of doing so will be factored into the price you get charged for the product. How happy will you be about paying it?
Such things tend not to be done because no one wants to go first. It increases costs and requires higher prices, and no one wants to be the first to charge more unless they feel that their competitors will follow suit. Since price is a major factor in which product you buy, the temptation for a competitor to
not follow suit and gain market share at the first company's expense by offering lower prices will be well nigh irresistible. Such actions tend to finally take place when the political climate compells everyone in the industry to do it, or else.

Anyways, the real cure for many environmental and industrial ills is simply to lower the numbers of humans living on earth. But no one wants to touch that political hot potato....

How do you propose it be done?
