...I'm not convinced this is actually the measure kraig was after- the overall environmental cost. It seems that's just manufacturing and reuse cost; w/o disposal cost or cost to the system of using a reusable vs nonreusable resource. I think disposal costs would be low in the case of a disposable, by virtue of how little material is in it, but I don't know how low as compared with the embodied energy; nor do I have figures on "system costs" however the heck that should be measured.
