Join us on the next episode of the Beyond Waste Podcast as we explore the fascinating interplay between history and modern waste management with Dr. Henry Irving.
A historian at Leeds Beckett University, Dr. Irving specialises in the history of waste management and is currently penning a book on recycling during WWII.
He is also the recipient of a British Academy Innovation Fellowship in partnership with WRAP, aiming to leverage historical insights for the betterment of contemporary recycling policies.
In this eye-opening episode, we dive into the evolution of waste management, learn from practices dating back to the Second World War, and discuss how these lessons could transform our approaches today.
