Description:

An award-winning investigative journalist takes a deep dive into the global waste crisis, exposing the hidden world that enables our modern economy - and finds out the dirty truth behind a simple question: what really happens to what we throw away?

In Wasteland , journalist Oliver Franklin-Wallis takes us on a shocking journey inside the waste industry-the secretive multi-billion dollar world that underpins the modern economy, quietly profiting from what we leave behind. In India, he meets the waste-pickers on the front line of the plastic crisis. In the UK, he journeys down sewers to confront our oldest-and newest-waste crisis, and comes face-to-face with nuclear waste. In Ghana, he follows the after-life of our technology and explores the global export network that results in goodwill donations clogging African landfills. From an incinerator to an Oklahoma ghost-town, Franklin-Wallis travels in search of the people and companies that really handle waste-and on the way, meets the innovators and campaigners pushing for a cleaner and less wasteful future.

With this mesmerizing, thought-provoking, and occasionally terrifying investigation, Oliver Franklin-Wallis tells a new story of humanity based on what we leave behind, and along the way, he shares a blueprint for building a healthier, more sustainable world-before we're all buried in trash.
