There is a significant lack of collaboration and coordination among key stakeholders in the recycling ecosystem. The absence of effective engagement between manufacturers, waste management companies, policymakers, and consumers has led to:

• Limited adoption of sustainable recycling practices.
• Gaps in the recycling value chain, making it difficult to ensure a consistent supply of recyclable materials.
• Slow progress in policy development that could encourage industries to transition toward circular production models.

To close the recycling loop and maximize efficiency, there needs to be a coordinated effort to bring together all players in the recycling sector.
