Article Abstract:

Several recycling programs have been undertaken in European countries. Britain needs to expand curbside programs and build materials recovery facilities to achieve a target of 50% recycling by 2000. Germany has demonstrated the effect of national legislation on reducing excess packaging and waste. In Asian countries such as the Philippines and Indonesia, recycling has become a primary source of income in some regions.
