Answer 1

A) Alecent documentary about Sweden's recycling policies

Step-by-step explanation:

A new record for Europe's garbage import was set in 2015, with 800,000 tons entering Sweden for use in power plants. Approximately the majority of the imported rubbish originates in Norway because burning it is more expensive in Norway and Norway exports its trash to Sweden instead.

The agreement, in this case, is that Norway pays Sweden to take the garbage off their hands, while Sweden gets electrical and thermal energy in return. But dioxins, the environmental hazard found in the waste byproduct, are present in the ashes of the waste byproduct. Powers said that there are also high concentrations of heavy metals contained in the ash that must be disposed of. After being thoroughly crushed, the ashes are shipped to Norway.
