Book Price $0 : Is There A Point To Recycling? Is Recycling Even Good For The Environment? In This Volume In The MIT Press Essential Knowledge Series, Finn Arne Jørgensen Answers: It Depends. From A Technical Point Of View, Recycling Is A Series Of Processes - Collecting, Sorting, Processing, Manufacturing. Recycling Also Has A Cultural Component; At Its Core, Recycling Is About Transformation And Value, Turning Material Waste Into Something Useful - Plastic Bags Into Patio Furniture, Plastic Bottles Into T-shirts. Jørgensen Offers An Accessible And Engaging Overview Of Recycling As An Activity And As A Process At The Intersection Of The Material And The Ideological. Jørgensen Follows A Series Of Materials As They Move Back And Forth Between Producer And Consumer. He Considers Organic Waste And Cultural Contamination; The History Of Recyclable Writing Surfaces From Papyrus To Newsprint; Discarded Clothing As It Moves From The The Global North To The Global South; The Shifting Fate Of Glass Bottles; The Efficiency Of Aluminum Recycling; E-waste And Technological Obsolescence; And Industrial Waste. Finally, Re-asking The Question Posed By John Tierney In An Infamous 1996 New York Times Article, "is Recycling Garbage?" Jørgensen Argues That Recycling Is Necessary - As Both Symbolic Action And Physical Activity That Has A Tangible Effect On The Real World.
