And that's so much not true
Developing countries can't see it yet, because they usually have a lot of raw material, but in Europe and the States, making machinery and factories more efficient means less waste, which means more product/energy saved. The initial cost might be more expensive, but the profits are a lot higher too.

It's like spending money on a car that consumes very little and has almost no emitions. Yes, it's more expensive, but yes, you save a lot on fuel and you recover the money pretty quickly.
