Books By Richard Waite - Author

Richard Waite studied and practised as a chartered engineer, before setting up one of the UK's first household recycling schemes in the late 1980s. Subsequently, as a management consultant, he advised many councils and the Government on household waste management and recycling, and in 1995 wrote the first book on household waste recycling. He was the specialist advisor to the House of Commons Environment Select Committee during their 1993/94 inquiry into recycling. He then became the Managing Director of several very successful UK businesses but maintained his interest in recycling. Drawing on his own experience setting up and running one of the UK's first companies recycling Household Waste, plus extensive research and analysis, he has written this book to draw attention to the crisis we face and to present a comprehensive blueprint for how we should in future manage our use of the Earth's limited resources.
