Establishing a Recycling Center in SimCity

Hello there

I've an idea that could be a good addition to the game, it about make a " Recycling Center ", it task to take any item that player didnt find it useful for him and return it back to it row materials, so the player can use the row materials to make another product.
This idea will enhance players responsibility's about the environment, and the game will get an advantage at front of world by adding this Idea ( with a good announcement and pro marketing for it ).
Sorry for take your valuable time, and hope to hear your opinion about the idea

    It would work. I think if they did implement a 'dismantle' option, I'd imagine you wouldn't get all the Materials that were used to make Item. However, it should give Material(s) that made the Item.
    For something that's 'kinda useful', it should have a reasonable cooldown period. Let's face it, it won't be a game changer, but it I think it has a place in the game.
  • Hello,

    It’s 2024 and I just stumbled upon your thread from 2017 regarding a recycling center. I was just about to send EA a feature request memo for the same exact idea, so I am bumping this to see if EA will respond to consider this option.

    Returning manufacturered goods back into their raw materials would add a significant boost to SCBI. There could be certain incentives or roadblocks that would help illustrate the idea that recycling is helpful and needed, but it has to be efficient. No sense in burning fossil fuels or massive  energy consumption just to produce rolls of tissue paper or paper boxes (real life anecdote obviously)…so hopefully developing this model will be more thoughtful than the mass transit/trains feature.
