- This 80k word book is the culmination of a 3-year research project on waste management that draws on comparative primary research within the UK and Sweden, as well as secondary research from Brazil and India. The book is the first systematic exploration and development of the concept of 'consumption work'. The book provides a thorough investigation of a range of data (including interviews, policy documents and statistics) from the four countries to make the case that consumers perform work when they recycle their waste, and to compare the public/private provision of waste management services.
