Re: [greenyes] Recycling around the world

[Keith Ripley <vze3gxms@no.address>]

Thanks for the heads-up, John.  As usual, the press largely ignores 
recycling efforts outside the OECD.  The example from Senegal, I guess 
meant to represent the situation in all developing countries, would only 
apply in some Latin America & Caribbean countries.  For example, the 
situation in Brazil, even regulation-wise and regarding industrial-level 
recycling, is much different.  Funny that the article did not mention 
that Brazil is a world leader in recycling aluminum cans and now 
recycles more PET than most European counrties.....

I am also surprised to see that they do not mention Canada, where so 
many important recycling examples can be found.

BTW, I think I would differ with the authors about the US situation.  
I'm not convinced that EPA is actually leading.
