Thats part of the problem though, there isnt really a huge pool of unrecycled copper, for example, to tap into. Copper pipes and wiring go in and tend to stay in. You dont plumb and wire a building and a year later recycle the pipes or wires. You have to replace them with something else and in the case of the copper pipes that is plastic, made from oil.....

Unless we learn how to synthesise a lot of the stuff we use, future generations are going to be living in mud huts and eating nuts and berries.
