Abstract
Denmark has been one of the pioneers in waste recycling, through legislation and government subsidies and a unique combination of private and public participation. This paper outlines major Danish activities in this field through 1982: government regulation, research and development, demonstration projects, community recycling centers, industrial activities, etc. In spite of these activities and a great deal of progress, it appears that only the surface has been scratched, and that steps should be taken to give further opportunity for recycling.
