The Cost of Paying a Loadman vs EPR Fulfilment Rates

guess what is higher?

The cost of paying this loadman is more than the cost that brands are willing to pay for EPR fulfillment.

This is a Tata Ace, holding 350-450kgs of MLP.
(yes, that's all it will hold - by weight, MLP is the lightest).

And the cost for the loadman is ₹700.

That means, the cost per kg for loading the material onto the truck is ₹2 (700/350).

Forget the cost of the truck, driver, fuel, segregation costs, baling costs, and co-processing expenses that you need to pay to a cement kiln if properly channelized.

(Don't tell me that all MLP is actually going to recyclers, we know the facts).

And yet, brands are demanding less than ₹1/kg for material movement with 100% traceability.

Show me one unit economics model where this actually works out.

Do it right, or don't do it at all.
