The advent of consumer societies in the United Kingdom and West
Germany after 1945 led to the mass 'production' of garbage. This
book compares the social, cultural and economic fallout of the
growing volume and changing composition of waste in the two
countries from 1945 to the present through sustained attention to
changes in the business of handling household waste. Though the UK
and Germany are similar in population density, degrees of
urbanisation, and standardisation, the two countries took
profoundly different paths from low-waste to throwaway societies,
and more recently, towards the goal of 'zero-waste'. The authors
explore evolving balances between public and private provision in
waste services; the transformation of public cleansing into waste
management; the role of government legislation and regulation;
emerging conceptualisations of recycling and resource recovery; and
the gradual shift of the industry's regulatory and business context
from local to national and then to international.
