Microplastic
editAccording to a recent study, recycling plastic releases a lot of microplastics — as much as 6-13% of the plastic processed. I think it's noteworthy to be added in the 'criticism' section

Solvent/liquid recycling
editThis is somewhat related to green solvent but that article has a lot of issues. Doesn't a section on solvent recycling belong in this article, or at least in recycling by material? Acetic acid, for example, has 1/4th of its production needs met each year by recycling. Reconrabbit 17:32, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
See also section
editCycloneYoris I don't see why you reverted these edits. Adding a link to the see also section is an improvement and the list already seems to have an established alphabetical order, of which placing "Wishcycling" where it is does not conform to this alphabetical order.

- @Helper201: I originally thought that E-cycling and Energy recycling were the same thing, so I thought it was redundant to include both links at the same time. I've now undone my edits and restored the ones made by the IP. CycloneYoris talk! 23:00, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you. All the best. Helper201 (talk) 15:30, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
