Since starting in 2017, Opening the Bin – a multi-disciplinary conference on waste, culture and society – has gone from strength to strength. Organised by an international team of waste researchers, it is coming to Lancaster University between 15-17 Jun 2023.

There is now an open call for papers that explore the organizing and re-organizing of waste as representative of the ‘new normal’ – the deadline is 16 Jan 2023, and you can read the full call, and find out more at https://wp.lancs.ac.uk/otb3-2023/
