Yet more evidence that capitalism is inherently ecocidal, not because of malice on the part of anyone working with in, but just because of the way it functions.

Nothing "capitalist" prevents these parties from renegotiating their agreements and contracts to stop wasting the goods delivered. This is anything but "structural".
As correctly noted by @incognitum seeing such silly reductionism a question logically arises: ok, so what's the alternative?
Then you realise that all known alternatives not based on market economy were event more wasteful and "ecocidal".
sure. It happens in every capitalistic system, it only happens there, it happens everytime, it happens continuously, but is not "structural".
Well, you are right: it is just "automatic", "associated" and "inherent".
Capitalism started in 1800, so there were plenty of systems which were not capitalist , NOT based on market economy, plus working much better.
