The accelerated pace of global consumption over the past decades
has meant that governments across the world are now faced with
significant challenges in dealing with the dramatically increased
volume of waste. While research on waste management has previously
focused on finding technological solutions to the problem, this
book uniquely examines the social and cultural views of waste,
shedding new light on the topic by emphasising the consumer
perspective throughout. Drawing on a wide variety of disciplines
including environmental, economic, social and cultural theories,
the book presents philosophical reflections, practical examples and
potential solutions to the problem of increasing waste. It analyses
and compares case studies from countries such as Sweden, Japan, the
USA, India, Nigeria and Qatar, bringing out valuable insights for
the international community and generating a critical discussion on
how we can move towards a more sustainable society. This book will
be of great interest to post-graduate students and researchers in
environmental policy, waste management, social marketing and
consumer behaviour, as well as policymakers and practitioners in
consumer issues and business.
