Recycling systems vary considerably between countries around the world. Australia and Korea, for example, vary both in the degree to which they pursue recycling and the mechanisms they emphasize
in their recycling efforts. This variation is attributable to the relative speed with which these countries have progressed to their contemporary industrial status. Australia, has progressed slowly to
this status while South Korea reached her industrial status almost overnight. Consequently, Australia is considerably more advanced in the recycling systems which she has in place than is South
Korea. While in 1989 seventy-five percent of newspapers in Australia were destined for landfills, today almost all of that volume is recycled (AAP
General News, 2002). Australia now holds the record as the worlds best recycler of newspapers, in fact, boasting a 72.4 percent recycle rate (AAP General News, 2002). Some
96,000 tons of this paper source was reused in the newspaper industry itself (AAP General News, 2002). Another 133,000 tons of the recycled newsprint is exported while the remainder
is used for cardboard and packaging material (AAP General News, 2002). Recycling in Australia is, of course, not limited to her
newspapers. Indeed, in excess of ninety percent of paper packaging materials are recycled as well sixty-four percent of aluminum drink containers (AAP General News, 2000). While in 1995
only forty-two percent of the paperboard used in milk and juice containers were recycled, that number was up to sixty percent by 2000 (AAP General News, 2000). Forty percent
of steel cans were recycled in 2000 as opposed to only twenty-seven percent in 1995 (AAP General News, 2000).
