C) Low-tech resource recovery involves customers separating trash into categories like glass, paper, plastics, and metal. D) High-technology recycling provides many more jobs than low-technology recycling. E) Materials-recovery facilities need a large input of garbage to be financially successful.
D) High-technology recycling provides many more jobs than low-technology recycling
Explanation:
High technology means that less labor is required for manual tasks. All manual tasks would be catered through technology which means that a lower number of labor would be required.
Therefore the statement that high-technology recycling provides many more jobs than low-technology recycling is false because it actually takes away jobs rather than providing jobs.
