Factor X: Re-source—Designing the Recycling Society explores the role of recycling in efforts to achieve the sustainable world envisioned in the Federal Environment Ministry’s Resource Efficiency Programme, known as Prog Ress. The chapters build a roadmap to a Recycling Society in which the decoupling of resource consumption and economic growth is accomplished.
