摘要

Research into waste management has mostly focused on how to design more efficient recycling plants, incinerators and landfill systems to minimize environmental impacts. Little attention has been paid to the social and creative aspects of using waste to make new products. Tom Szaky's interesting new book suggests new ways and means to 'outsmart' waste without compromising either with the 'rate of economic growth' or the convenience of modern life. The book shows Szaky's commitment and enthusiasm for reusing, recycling, repurpos-ing and reworking the way we view waste and relate to it. Szaky's enthusiasm for waste was translated into eco-entrepreneurship when he dropped out of university and founded TerraCycle in 2001 - a company that has become a global recycling company (operating in 26 countries), enabling consumers to collect and recycle non-recyclable waste. Szaky revealed the inspiring story of TerraCycle in his first book - Revolution in a Bottle: How TerraCycle is Redefining Green Business (2007).
