Abstract

Recycling is an omnipotent issue that has involved humans in all times of history to a larger or lesser degree. Many materials are already in the recycling loop, such as the recycling of paper and cardboard, wood products, metal, glass, organic components, home appliances, etc. However, some waste elements have not found a way to enter the recycling process, because it is hard, expensive, and complex to recycle it. This chapter focuses on the recycling of plastics, electronics, and textiles that currently lack sorting technologies, infrastructure, legislation, and social acceptance to be recycled at scale. The chapter concludes that many issues still need to be solved before the solution to recycling these three waste fractions is present and that the agents in doing so involve both businesses, researchers, politicians, authorities, and consumers.
