The second OTB book, Waste Research from the Social Sciences and Humanities Perspectives: Reopening the Bin, is available, to which I contributed a chapter in the Waste Practices Section, “Waste Safari XMass: A Visual Narrative with Single-use Plastics”.

Chapter in the Waste Practices Section, "Waste Safari XMass: A Visual Narrative with Single-use Plastics".


This book brings together diverse international scholars who interrogate waste from a myriad of disciplines within the social sciences and humanities. These disciplines explore the many faces and dimensions of waste, adding new understandings of common and hidden waste-related problems. These insider perspectives and reflections offer innovative ways of addressing waste-related dilemmas by highlighting solutions and proposing new approaches.

Thank you to the editorial dream team: Alison Stowell Jutta Gutberlet Francisco Valenzuela Patrik Zapata and María José Zapata Campos 👏 and Cambridge Scholars Publishing!

I agree that we are biased with Alison Stowell, co-editor, but it is a great read. There are many exciting chapters covered in three sections: Waste Communities, Waste Policy and Governance, and Waste Practices.

I look forward to reading all the contributors’ chapters over the festive season! I thoroughly enjoyed Marta Ferrie’s Chapter Ten, “The Morality and Discipline of Single-Use Plastics.”
