Reviews

"Finn Arne Jørgensen has produced an absorbing and entertaining study of one specific aspect of re-use and recycling in his exploration of what factors influence the fates of empty bottles and cans. It delivers insight into the complex relationships between the evolution of national environmental policies and the nexus of business interests, technological development, and everyday environmentalism. Making a Green Machine is a welcome and useful addition to the growing literature on how societies conceptualize and manage consumer wastes."
*Technology and Culture*

"Jørgensen has provided a context for the reverse vending machine that situates it as a nexus for debates about consumption, production, and the environment."
*author of Cash for Your Trash*

"...a strong work that should serve as a resource for advocates, planners and policymakers, as well as an illustration of the strengths of an historical approach to science and technology studies."
*ICON: The Journal of the International Committee for the History of Technology*
