The Hidden Design of Waste

Every object has a secret second life. The Hidden Design of Waste takes readers on a bright, eye-opening journey through the unseen systems that manage everything we throw away—and shows how garbage isn't the end of the story, but the beginning of design, economics, and progress. Instead of focusing on gloom, this book celebrates the ingenuity behind waste management and the creativity that turns yesterday's trash into tomorrow's solutions. From product packaging to city infrastructure, every page uncovers how small, smart design choices ripple through our environment, economy, and communities. .
