In some countries, there is not enough recycling of waste materials (e.g. paper, glass, and cans). What are the reasons and solutions?

It is quite notorious that some developed nations are not recycling

waste

materials

such

as paper, glass and cans. The reason behind

this

seems to be the lack of enforcement of legislation for the

commerce

sector

. Should

this

be the origin of the problem, a simple solution would be to involve a neutral party to make sure these organisations abide by the law. It has been established some countries do not see recycling as a priority,

therefore

they do not have a clear plan to make sure their population is sorting out recyclable materials as needed, especially the

commerce

sector

.

For instance

, businesses may see recycling as an unnecessary

waste

of money.

Consequently

, they have no interest in investing time and resources to dispose of their

waste

appropriately. To solve

this

issue, there should be a neutral agency auditing the trash disposal protocol of all the members of the

commerce

sector

.

For example

, a non-governmental company monitors commercial

waste

to make sure private companies are following the rules and adhering to the legislation. The neutrality of

this

report would make it indisputable,

hence

business owners would have to change their behaviour. In conclusion, most of the

waste

not being recycled comes from the

commerce

sector

of some countries. Despite legislation in place, these commerces choose not to recycle because it would impact their profit.

Nevertheless

, there is a clear solution to

this

problem, as simple as hiring a private company to inspect these businesses and to make suggestions where necessary.

Although

it seems like a simple solution, additional considerations should be made where countries do not have a trustworthy law enforcement agency.
