A World Without Waste
This four-part series, made by the ABC and the BBC, tracks the international drive by governments, scientists, environmentalists and communities towards zero waste. The series visits four different countries in the Asia-Pacific region; Japan, China, the Philippines and the USA, to look at how waste is being disposed of: to meet the people, to describe the technology, to examine the scientific thinking and to ponder the ideas behind it all.
