Despite its benefits, recycling faces several challenges including:
- Contamination: Improper sorting and cleaning of recyclables can contaminate entire batches, making them unusable. - Economic Factors: Fluctuations in the market for recyclable materials can impact the viability of recycling programs. - Public Awareness: Lack of public awareness and education on proper recycling practices. - Infrastructure: Insufficient recycling facilities and services in certain areas. - Technological Limitations: Some materials are difficult or currently not feasible to recycle.
