Perhaps publishers should be asked to add enough non-Torah content to
exempt their products from geniza...

I'm surprised to see that; isn't recycled paper sometimes used for
purposes that are definitely bizayon?  One hears stories of Israelis
in the 1950s finding shemos in their toilet paper.  Of course nowadays
one would never know, because the paper is bleached, but does that
change the halachic situation?  Maybe, but maybe not.
