It also addresses the challenges and barriers hindering the implementation of recycling initiatives, proposing a set of strategies aimed at enhancing their efficiency and effectiveness.
The study underscores the importance of integrating recycling into core policies and business models, given its critical role in resource rationalization, waste reduction, and the achievement of long-term sustainability goals. Ultimately, the research concludes that recycling should be adopted as a strategic entry point for sustainable development, due to its transformative capacity to enable the construction of a circular economy and to strengthen community resilience in the face of environmental and societal challenges.
