WRATT IV Promote Landfill Alternatives Now: Solutions for Industrial Solid Waste: Chapter 10: Solid Waste Management and Recycling - Economics
Chapter Abstract: This is clip 10 of 26 for this clip. Responsibility for achievement is really a question of economics. Recycling has not been economically driven in the last 5 years. For recycling to work, communities must be provided with the greatest recycling value. The largest portion of municipal solid waste is made up of paper at 30%. Of recycled materials recovered by recycling programs, paper is 66%. Virtually everything is recyclable at a cost. The value of recycled material is about 1/3 the cost of recovering them.
