| In the supply section of the article 2nd paragraph | |||
| :(Container deposit legislation involves offering a refund for the return of certain containers, typically glass, plastic, and metal. When a product in such a container is purchased, a small surcharge is added to the price. This surcharge can be reclaimed by the consumer if the container is returned to a collection point. These programs have been very successful, often resulting in an 80 percent recycling rate. Despite such good results, the shift in collection costs from local government to industry and consumers has created strong opposition to the creation of such programs in some areas.) | |||

| I spent quite a bit of time trying to find a citation for this: "Recycling has been a common practice for most of human history with recorded advocates as far back as Plato in the fourth century BC." I think it's problematic for various reasons. First, obviously, is the term "recycling" (which is basically a 20th century concept). So this is an ]. Second, there's a suggestion that Plato (or the ancient Greeks) did something radically different that allows us to date "recycling" back to them, rather than wisely reuse materials as people (and probably other species--aren't earthworms recyclers?) probably always have. I find it hard to justify this statement. At best, I think it should say something like "Reusing materials has been a common practice for most/all of human history..." - but I'd be keen to hear other views. ] (]) 09:07, 21 January 2023 (UTC) | |||
| == Outside the Midwest == | |||
| In the sentence "though much of this glass is sent to be recycled, outside the American Midwest there is not enough wine production to use all of the reprocessed material," "outside the American Midwest" doesn't seem to make any sense. California produces more wine than the rest of the US combined. The entire Midwest produces less than a tenth of what California produces. The quoted sentence implies that Midwestern wine production is greater than that of California. This is clearly false. ] (]) 21:00, 2 February 2023 (UTC) | |||

Microplastic
According to a recent study, recycling plastic releases a lot of microplastics — as much as 6-13% of the plastic processed. I think it's noteworthy to be added in the 'criticism' section

Solvent/liquid recycling
This is somewhat related to green solvent but that article has a lot of issues. Doesn't a section on solvent recycling belong in this article, or at least in recycling by material? Acetic acid, for example, has 1/4th of its production needs met each year by recycling. Reconrabbit 17:32, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
See also section
CycloneYoris I don't see why you reverted these edits. Adding a link to the see also section is an improvement and the list already seems to have an established alphabetical order, of which placing "Wishcycling" where it is does not conform to this alphabetical order.

- @Helper201: I originally thought that E-cycling and Energy recycling were the same thing, so I thought it was redundant to include both links at the same time. I've now undone my edits and restored the ones made by the IP. CycloneYoris 23:00, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
