Environmental Issues

Although environmental engineers, scientists and scholars have established the importance of recycling, the improper implementation and misinformation about recycling processes may prove to be detrimental than beneficial to the environment and human health. The objective of this paper is to present some of the problems and issues in modern recycling methods and discuss their environmental implications. Recommendations, such as optimizing other waste management strategies and enhancing implementation and regulation processes, will also be discussed in order to some solutions on how the identified problems in recycling may be offset.

Introduction
The increasing attention to the evaluation of existing waste management practices due to concerns about environmental welfare.

Recycling methods, although advantageous at times, should be subjected to evaluations in order to determine their efficiency.

Problem Overview
Landfill capacity may be increased.
Landfills are not harmful to the environment.
Curbside recycling contributes to air pollution.
Cycling is unsuccessful due to inefficient implementation and regulatory practices.

Environmental Implications

Some recycling practices are more detrimental than advantageous as they pose threats or risks to environmental welfare.

Curbside recycling leads to air pollution.

Misinformed recycling of electronics may contribute to chemical pollution and health hazards.

Possible Solutions
Increasing landfill capacity and optimization of landfill features.

Focus on planning and evaluation of waste management strategies for efficient implementation and regulation.

Conclusions
A restatement of the important points from the four previous sections.
