Answer to Question 1

The costs associated with recycling raise the cost of recycled materials too close to the value of the original virgin materials.

Answer to Question 2

The greater variety of plastic materials has led to difficulty in sorting; the greater value of recycled aluminum and the low differential between plastic virgin and recycled materials; the ease of separating aluminum cans
