    About this ebook

    Recycling. We all love it, or at least the idea of it. When something paper, plastic, metal, or glass reaches the end of its lifespan, we throw it into a recycling bin, and it goes away with the garbage. Only unlike our garbage, it's created into something new. But how much of the process do you know? What if you were told that some of your plastic waste isn't being recycled? Where does your recycling go? What is China's role in the global recycling industry? Is recycling even beneficial for all of us? All these questions are answered in Garbage Money: What the Recycling Industry is Facing, which investigates the process of recycling, how it has changed since the end of World War II and the increase in globalization, and the role that China, the manufacturing powerhouse, has played in the transformation of your trash into products you buy.
