Recycling resources

Abstract

The current rate of depletion of non-renewable resources and of the generation of waste for disposal have prompted the call for waste to be reclaimed and re-used. This paper describes the general forms which such recycling presently takes and identified the factors which bear upon the amount and nature of recycling. Some of these factors are seen to be economic, others technological and behavioural. Although a private enterprise economy will automatically recycle resources in some degree, the author concludes that the analysis presented here of the relevant determinants of recycling suggests that conscious intervention of some kind is desirable.
