Obstacles: No doubt recycling is a promising strategy for waste management. However, there are various obstacles to recycling. All these hinder its full implementation.
1. Not a good option. Firstly, in the most cases recycling is not a good option as reuse. Nevertheless, it is better than burning materials and much better than throwing than away.
2. Rigidity. Secondly, given the screamingly inexhaustible supply of materials, factories are primarily set up to handle virgin material. The entire production consumption system is built without recycling in mind. Changing the system is not easy.
3. Image problem. Thirdly, recycling suffers from an image problem. Some recycled products are inferior quality as is true of paper.
4. Plastics. Plastics pose a special problem for recycling. Some package contain two or more types of plastics, making it difficult to recycle. Since different plastics cannot be recycled together, separation of different plastics before recycling
