2 recyclable materials or products can be used again after they have been treated using a special industrial process:
Recyclable material is sold to wholesalers and organic material is composted and then sold in the market.
Some packaging is necessary; it should be made from recycled and recyclable materials and should be reused as many times as possible.
If imported secondary materials totally substitute domestic recyclable waste materials, the local recovery sector may suffer from free waste trade causing employment and disposal problems.
In this paper we focus on the second point and assume in our analysis that all imported waste fulfills recyclable requirements.
However, we believe that the results from this study can be generalized across for recyclable non-hazardous waste.
Cans that are recyclable are made of this metal.
We implicitly assumed that all recyclable waste is recycled.
Recyclable waste in turn must be separated from generic waste before it can be processed into secondary commodities.
