Consumers stand to gain from advances in technology. For example, new technologies make it possible to recycle certain types of plastic that had previously not been recyclable. If manufacturers incorporated such recycled plastics into their products, their need for new materials would be reduced by up to half. Since it would then cost manufacturers less to buy new materials, the cost of manufacturing products would be less, and lower retail prices would reflect the difference.
The argument above assumes which of the following?
A. Most plastics are recyclable.
B. Consumers would be aware of the reason for the drop in prices of retail products containing recycled plastics.
C. Consumers would not be satisfied with the quality of recycled plastics.
D. The cost of recycled plastics is not greater than the cost of new plastics.
E. The cost of new plastics is at least twice as much as that of recycled plastics.

The passage states that by using the recycled plastic, the manufacturers will use less of the new plastic and reduce cost. That is possible only if cost of recycled plastic is less than that of new plastic.

Suppose the cost of the recycled plastics is more than the cost of new materials. Then the technology will not benefit the consumers, the manufacturer's cost wont get cut.. etc etc. Hence, the entire argument collapses.
