Suggested answer: A

Explanation:

Globally, about 25% of recyclable waste is actually recycled each year. This relatively low rate highlights significant challenges in waste management systems and underscores the need for improved recycling infrastructure and policies. Various factors contribute to this issue, including contamination of recyclable materials, insufficient recycling facilities, and lack of public awareness about proper recycling practices. The statistics on global recycling rates and related issues can be found in reports from the EPA and OECD https://www.epa.gov/facts-and-figures-about-materials-waste-and-recycling/national-overview-facts-and-figures-materials
