Is'nt Capitalism about exploitation? You know, utilising under valued resources - minimising waste!

That's an effect. Capitalism is about tying economic effects to owners, encouraging industry

You are conflating Capitalism with consumerism. The former under free market conditions allows the use of all resources. The later under government has Intellectual Property which hinders re-use and recycling as well as encouraging unsound spending with inflationary currency.
