Obviously, this is a problem of (neoliberal) capitalism and the free market system. So there is no math problem. It's a probleem of power and wealth and who controls politics and regulations.
We could have national investments or subsidies for better recycling plants. And if more money was invested into research recycling technology, this could quickly change. This shredding sounds like wasteful too, I'm sure there could be smarter ways to go about this. Or maybe not.
Unfortunately the USA is going in the opposite direction, research is being cut to the bone. EU probably too, more privatization, more money into funding weapons and wars.
