cobalt

The cobalt recycling started in earnest during the Shaba crisis in the late 1970. With the prize of cobalt exploding and no possibility to get access to the mines in southern Kongo (Zaire) the search for alternatives and recycling where the only chances.

Wiki Education assignment: Introduction to Policy Analysis

This article was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, between 28 March 2022 and 30 May 2022. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): Rebeccarog (article contribs).

Introduction

Consider adding to introduction: Recycling can be carried out on various materials ADD , including asphalt, concrete, glass, metals, plastic, and timber. Annually, 2.12 billion tonnes of municipal solid waste is produced around the world, however only about 13% gets recycledhttps://comfyliving.net/recycling-statistics/#:~:text=Only%20about%2013%25%20is%20recycled,a%20number%20of%20other%20benefits.. This is due to inadequate accessibility, lack of knowledge, and limited government interventionhttps://www.forbes.com/sites/blakemorgan/2021/04/21/why-is-it-so-hard-to-recycle/?sh=7fa30e0f3b77. Often times, people throw garbage away but fail to think about where 'away' really is. This article explores such places for various materials, whether they go to the landfill, recycling facility, or turned into new material.
