This article is non-sensical. Recycling is a huge technology problem. It requires ability identify several different kind of material precisely from a massive hodge-podge, classify them and treat them individually. I don't think anyone has solved this problem, let alone solving in cost effective way so you come out revenue positive. The most "recylers" take easy route of dumping, burning etc. This article says Sweden burns "recyclables" to generate heat for winter. I would assume they only do this for high quality papers. There is no technology advances described in this article.
