本文从综合可持续废物管理模式（ISWMM）的角度，确定了斯里兰卡回收行业不足的原因。ISWMM从广泛的角度确定了发展中国家回收行业的复杂和多层面的挑战和解决方案。本研究的重点是发展中经济体中所有参与者产生的所有类型的可回收废物，远远超出了通常关注的城市固体废物。数据收集的访谈，文件分析和现场访问。回收行业面临的挑战来自回收价值链中的各种上游和下游行为者（广泛的利益攸关方），废物系统阶段和有利环境。斯里兰卡远不是一个循环经济国家，它面临着许多社会、环境和经济问题。它们需要通过提高认识、能力建设、基础设施和技术投资、执法和政策执行、国际合作、公私伙伴关系、财政政策支持和行业正规化，根据这些挑战采取补救行动。因此，解决办法要求采取多方面和包容所有利益攸关方的办法。
The paper identifies why the recycling industry is deficient in Sri Lanka from the viewpoint of the integrated sustainable waste management model (ISWMM). ISWMM identifies from a broad perspective the complex and multi-dimensional challenges and solutions in the recycling industries in developing countries. The focus of this study is on all types of recyclable waste generated by all the actors in a developing economy well beyond the commonly focused municipal solid waste. Data were collected from interviews, document analysis and site visits. The challenges for the recycling industry stem from various upstream and downstream actors in the recycling value chain (broadly stakeholders), waste system stages and enabling environment. Sri Lanka, far from being a circular economy, faces many social, environmental, and economic problems. They need remedial action based on these challenges through awareness creation, capacity building, investment in infrastructure and technology, law enforcement and policy implementation, international collaboration, private-public partnership, fiscal policy support, and industry formalization. Thus, the solutions call for a multi-faceted and all stakeholder-inclusive approach.
