Some people claim that enough of waste from homes is recycled. They say that the only way to increase recycling is for government to make it legal requirement. To what extent do you think laws are needed to make people recycle more of their waste ?

Nowadays, Waste management is a burning issue around the globe. Some commentators say that governments should make strict laws to protect the environment and to increase in the ratio of recycling wastes from households.
However
, I partly agree laws are needed and
in
Suggestion
at
the same time, public awareness regarding
benefits
Suggestion
the benefits
of recycling required which could bring phenomenal impact. On one hand, laws should be made for protecting
earth
Suggestion
the earth
from waste damage and some commentators believe it is the only way to increase recycling by stating following suggestions.
Firstly
, the government should make policies regarding packaging materials used by industries for undamaged dispatching.
In addition
to
this
, replacing those of non-recycle packers with reusable and recyclable materials could decrease plastics significantly, in turn, it allows people to use and exchange wastes at a recycling plant.
For instance
, now coco-cola company uses reusable bottles and
aluminum
a silvery ductile metallic element found primarily in bauxite
aluminium
tins.
Secondly
, laws should make compulsory circulation of biodegradable bags and violation of law by any shopping malls or grocery stores should be imposed with a huge penalty.
Lastly
, Establishment of recycling units in cities and collection, and separation of garbage into degradable, non-degradable, and hazardous wastes, and
then
it is transported to recycling units.
On the other hand
, some people think that making laws are not sufficient and cannot do all the work. So that, the government should
also
focus on campaigning and advertising which could create public awareness about
benefits

the benefits
of recycling and potential damages of non-recyclable materials.
For example
, people in

developing
nations divide their garbage into degradable, non-degradable, and hazardous wastes and
then
discharged to waste management units through garbage collectors.
Moreover
, many countries like Thailand, Japan, and so on following 3R campaign,

polices
a plan of action adopted by an individual or social group

are not sufficient
for

to
increase of recycling wastes from households.
However
, there is need of public awareness about recycling benefits. With the help of both government and public, recycling of wastes could be efficient.
