The traditional view of the economy has been linear and it has been socially acceptable to reap the quickest economic benefit by performing an activity associated with a resource without assuming the ultimate responsibility for the disposition of the resource or its by-products
In a linear economy a chain of resource extraction, manufacturing, distribution, consumption and end of life disposal has been typically practiced, where ownership of the resource changes hands at each step in the chain. At the end of the line there is no one that claims ownership and therefore no one is responsible for the end of life liability.
