Recycling Indian clothing : global contexts of reuse and value
In today's globally connected marketplace, a wedding sari in rural north
India may become a woman's blouse or cushion cover in a Western boutique. Lucy
Norris's anthropological study of the recycling of clothes in Delhi follows garments
as they are gifted, worn, handed on, discarded, recycled, and sold once more. Gifts
of clothing are used to make and break relationships within middle-class households,
but a growing surplus of unwanted clothing now contributes to a global glut of
textile waste. When old clothing is, for instance, bartered for new kitchen
utensils, it enters a vast waste commodity system in which it may be resold to the
poor or remade into new textiles and exported. Norris traces these local and
transnational flows through homes and markets as she tells the stories of the people
who work in the largely hidden world of fabric recycling.

Low impact building : housing using renewable materials
\"Low Impact Building: Housing using Renewable Materials is about changing the way we build houses to reduce their 'carbon' footprint and to minimise environmental damage. One of the ways this can be done is by reducing the energy and environmental impact of the materials and resources used to construct buildings by choosing alternative products and systems. In particular, we need to recognise the potential for using natural and renewable construction materials as a way to reduce both carbon emissions but also build in a more benign and healthy way. This book is an account of some attempts to introduce this into mainstream house construction and the problems and obstacles that need to be overcome to gain wider acceptance of genuinely environmental construction methods.\"-- From publisher description.

Waste Management and the Circular Economy in Selected OECD Countries
This report provides a cross-country review of waste, materials management and circular economy policies in selected OECD countries, drawing on OECD’s Environmental Performance Reviews during the period 2010-17. It presents the main achievements in the countries reviewed, along with common trends and policy challenges, and provides insights into the effectiveness and efficiency of waste, materials management and circular economy policy frameworks. As the selected reviews were published over a seven-year period, information for some countries may be more recent than for others. Nevertheless, the policy recommendations emerging from the reviews may provide useful lessons for other OECD countries and partner economies.

Do Gen Y and Gen Z differ in their purchase intention towards recycled products? A moderation study
This research aims to understand the predictors of recycled product purchase intention among Indian consumers and integrate the Norm Activation Model (NAM) with moral identity dimensions, internalization, and symbolization. The study also explored the variations in Gen Y and Gen Z's relationship with recycled product purchase intention. Based on responses from 281 young Indian consumers, Structural Equation Modelling and moderation analysis were conducted. The results affirm the influence of awareness of consequences and ascription of responsibility on personal norms, which significantly predict recycled product purchase intention. Importantly, both moral identity internalization and symbolization emerge as robust predictors of intention, extending the explanatory power of NAM. Moral identity dimensions exhibit divergent generational effects; internalization exerts a stronger influence on Gen Y, whereas symbolization more powerfully motivates Gen Z. These insights underscore the need for segmented sustainability marketing strategies. The study contributes to theory by integrating moral identity into NAM and offers practical implications for promoting recycled products across socio-cultural and generational segments in India.
