Cuttings, Combings, Fettlings and Flock: Gender and Australian Wool ‘Waste’, 1900–1950

Gender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As Australia's wool industry produced vast amounts of fine fleece from the nineteenth century, the wool processing and clothes manufacturing industries generated waste – products like cuttings, combings, fettlings and flock. Salvaged and then sold to waste merchants, these and other materials had a second life.

Food Waste as a Property Problem

The Modern Law Review, EarlyView.
Within a more general context of ‘overconsumption’, the United Nations estimates that annually 11.39 per cent of total global food production is wasted by households, and UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 12.3 declares thoroughgoing ambitions to halve food waste by 2030. This article argues that existing efforts to address this global challenge are

‘CLOSING THE CARBON LOOP’: Climate Policy Discourses and the Material Politics of Municipal Waste‐to‐Biofuel Programs

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Waste‐to‐biofuel (WTB) programs have gained popularity as a municipal circular economy and an emissions reduction strategy. The upgrading of biofuels to renewable natural gas (RNG) has drawn particular interest, as RNG can displace conventional fossil fuels in any existing natural gas end use and be delivered through existing pipeline ...
