Supplier power can be explored through equipment, labor, fuel, technology and facility needs, while buyer power differs between individual customers, commercial accounts and public contracting bodies.

Place concerns the geographic availability of local routes, facilities and customer access points.

Social expectations can influence recycling participation and attitudes toward disposal infrastructure. Technology can affect routing, customer information, sorting and resource-recovery processes.
