Recycling: shall we love it or not?

In the field of recycling Hungary is far from the international
standard. In 2000 30% of the non- hazardous waste and 20% of
hazardous waste were recycled in the industry. In spite of the
appearance of new technologies, only a small percentage of the
industrial waste, disposed earlier, becomes recycled. Yet, a
significant part of waste would be suitable for recycling. Owing to
the regulations and sources of the European Union in the past few
years more and more selective collection programs have set off. This
could give us joy, but we have some anxiety in this case (too).
