E

Expert

Verified

Various government policies could cause these different market outcomes.  For example, requiring the use of recycled aluminum in can production could raise its demand; requiring refundable deposits on cans at the time of purchase could give them a value not given to newspapers; giving tax breaks for the use of recycled aluminum and not for recycled newspapers would also encourage demand for aluminum and not for newspapers.
