Preferred term

recycling in history  

Definition

  • Basic human needs for food and shelter have long been accompanied by questions of what to do with the remains of gathering, hunting, farming, and sustaining lives. As individuals organized into families, tribes, and, eventually, cities and nation-states, the commodities and resulting refuse required scaled management.
