Summary
COI synopsis: Nearly everywhere today a major concern is cutting back on waste to help preserve resources. But first, spot your waste! This issue spots a few obvious, and a few very strange areas where intriguing new ways are being developed for preventing waste. Providing our domestic waste can be sorted cheaply and efficiently, our dustbins could become a gold-mine of new resoruces. An automatic sorting plant is being developed that could well make this pipe-dream of the future a reality.
