What is behind the attack on recycling?

Article Abstract:

Recycling as a process requires little time, decreases pollution and economizes on energy. However, it still has strong opposition mainly due to three reasons. Hauling companies are against recycling as they earn greater profit on their investment in disposal than that in recycling. Recycling activities are labour intensive as compared to disposal techniques which are capital intensive. Banks and bond firms strongly support the latter while opposing the former. Further, recycling has been called a very wasteful activity. Nevertheless, the recycling process will remain strong.
