Most countries do not recycle their waste like paper, glass and aluminum cans.
Why does this happen and what steps can be taken to encourage recycling?
.
.
.
Although the significance of recycling for environment is not hidden from anyone, many countries are not putting substantial efforts for the same. Blame for this shortfall can be put on governments around the globe, and it is their collective effort which can alleviate this issue.

For reasons, one needs to look at the economic condition of a country. In order to recycle, lot of manpower along with sophisticated machinery is needed. Many African and Asian countries lack in this field, so they have no option but to live with the waste. When one looks at the rich countries, the real issue lies there is the absence of zeal. As people can afford, they prefer to buy new products and the waste is either thrown in sea or dumped in third world countries. Hence, it is evident that both poor and rich countries have their own reasons to shy away from recycling process made of aluminum, glass and paper.

To increase recycling, all the regulatory bodies of different nations around the world need to come together. As far as poor countries are concerned, they need a helping hand from their affluent counterparts in field of technology. Once the technology and infrastructure are in place, a drastic surge in recycling can be expected in African and Asian nations. While for rich European nations, a policy of rewarding those citizens who recycle, and penalizing those who do not, must be followed. Therefore, though recycling is a tedious process, it is still in reach by cooperation of nations.

To conclude, in case of poor countries, lack of knowhow, whereas for rich countries, lack of desire are the reasons for lesser recycling. A sincere and collective effort can sort out this dearth to a large extent.

Despite being fully aware of the grim environment scenario, surprisingly many nations shy away from their responsibility of recycling. The reasons for such attitude lies in the complexity of this process, and solution for the same is a collective effort.
.
.
To start with the reasons, the process of recycling is not simple. Not only it needs a lot of deliberate efforts in collection of recyclable products, but is it also quite tedious to bring them back in usable forms. Many African and Asian countries are not in position to move ahead with the process. For rich European countries, it seems an unnecessary hassle to their citizens as they can afford new products and dump used product in third world countries. Therefore, recycling is an activity that faces hurdles at every step.

To solve this issue of less recycling, a conscious and deliberate effort is needed from all the concerned. Here, rich countries can share the technology for complicated recycling process with their deprived counterparts. Once the infrastructure and expertise are in place, it would just be a matter of people’s participation. This can be achieved by rewarding people who act and penalizing those who do not. Hence, the issue of recycling can be sorted out with proper strategy and cooperation.

To conclude, lack of expertise as well as zeal to recycle are the hurdles for recycling of paper, glass and aluminum. However, sincere efforts from everyone involved can sort this issue.
