Reflections on consumer waste

Beschreibung

Waste reduction is a complex challenge for the promotion of sustainable consumption. This book presents philosophical reflections, practical examples and potential solutions to the problem of increasing waste. The authors represent a variety of disciplines encompassing different environmental, economic and social perspectives, theories and methods. As increasing waste is a growing global problem as a result of increasing consumption, a consumer perspective is therefore highly important. This book is unique in its emphasis on the consumer perspective throughout.
