Using his signature method of narrative storytelling, Adam Minter will trace his personal journey from a small family scrapyard in Minneapolis to a position documenting the global waste and recycling industry from the Asia-Pacific regions. Along the way he’ll show how today’s industry challenges don’t predict the end of recycling. Instead, they predict the latest new beginning. In a world that sees waste and recycling as something that’s dumped on others, Minter will show how a global trade of recyclers, thrift stores, and decluttering businesses is finding new value in the things that we all overlook. Come prepared to have your stereotypes and misconceptions about waste and recycling challenged and turned upside down!
Adam Minter is a columnist with Bloomberg Opinion, where he writes about emerging markets, technology, waste, and other topics. From 2002 to 2014, he was based in Shanghai, where he covered the trans-Pacific trade in recycling. His first book, “Junkyard Planet: Travels in the Billion Dollar Trash Trade,“ is an insider’s look at the world of globalized recycling. His most recent book, “Secondhand: Travels in the New Global Garage Sale“ is a deep into the hidden secondhand economy that thrives around the world.
